Question about snails.

I have a ten gallon tank with a few guppies and some mystery snails,I noticed the guppies are showing
signs of ick.My question is should I remove my snails beffore treating my guppies?I know dwarf frogs dont
do well with medicines,but im not sure about the snails.

Re: Question about snails.

Instead of adding meds, slowly increase the temperature to 83F.
Increase it about a degree an hour.
82F is too warm for the free swimming form of the parasite.
This should not bother the snails.

Re: Question about snails.

Along with what Dino said do more frequent water changes while the temp is up. Leave the temps up for at least 14 days.
