Ive noticed two white bumps on her back fin, and shes been rubbing on things and twitching her fins. She refuses to eat... and she hides in the cave all day. Today I found like 20 babies! So my questiion is, if Ive been treating her with a teaspoon of ickaway every day, can I still do this with the babies? Also, how long do you have to turn off the filter while treating the ich? I also like to know when I can start giving these babies away as I realize a 10 gallon tank isnt going to cut it with so many fish. Ive had this fish for a week, so far she has killed off the electric yellow lab that I also got with her. The lab was fine until she nipped at it several times. But I have not seen her eat in the week that ive had her. Ive tried EVERYTHING. Freeze dried shrimp, flakes, zucchini like in the pet store... what do i do????

Anyone with any advice please help! My aim is nicifrog if you want.
