How do I treat my fish for ich?
I have a 30 gallon freshwater community tank consisted of 10 rasboras, 3 cories, 2 rainbowfish, 2 german rams, 1 bristlenose pleco, 1 oto, and 20 ghost shrimp. The tank is moderately planted. I noticed that my German Ram has several white spots on its fins, which appear to be ich. How can I treat the tank, or the infected fish, without harming the sensitive fish, plants or invertebrates?

Using black sand as a substrate?
I have a ten gallon tank that currently has some blue standard aqarium gravel. It is freshwater, but I would still like to change the substrate to black sand. So how would I go about that? It is the home to a male betta, 3 cory cats and two ghost shrimp. Would I have to catch them and toss them in a bucket with the tank water and then scrape out all the gravel and add the black sand? Would my tank have to recycle even if I used the same filter and plants/decoration?
Also would it be okay to just get black play-sand and rinse it in a pillow case and then soak it for a week?
Okay, I can get the aqarium sand, but were would I keep my fish for two weeks?
Okay are you sure I don’t have to recylce? I know a lot of people don’t know what they are talking about, but I trust you as you usally give awsome advice. I am going to check around on some various fish forums just in case(:
Ooo I like the idea of having the gravel on the bottom and covering it with sand(: But eventually I might get a khulie loach or two and I think they would be surprised when they went to burrow…
