|  Yes, if one fish is sick they will all get sick. The only disease I've ever seen take over a tank (and it happened when I introduced a new fish) was little white spots started to appear on him a couple days later. Then the other fish got it and died too. |

| Yes if you have one sick fish it can infect your tank. If you suspect a new fish is sick i would separate the sick fish and treat both your full tank and the sick fish. ICH or ICK is a common disease that fish owners encounter. Your fish tend to develop specks. You can buy water treatments at any pet shop. Good luck! |
