Ive noticed a lot of little white things crawling around on the glass. I was wondering if I should be worried about this or is there anything i can do to fix it.
Thanks

Quarantining fish can often stress them out even more. Ich is a disease brought out by stress. So quarantining them can often make it worse. I have never quarantined a fish of mine that came down with ich, and I have never lost one to it. I am a proponent of leaving them in the tank, minimizing stress, and boosting their immune systems and giving them the chance to fight it off themselves. If your water parameters are good (ammonia, nitrite at zero, nitrates less than 20, and correct pH and salinity), I'd just say to let the ich run its course and give them a shot at fighting it off themselves rather than quarantining them. It's a different story if you have a whole tank of expensive fish at risk, then you might want to get the sick ones out. But that doesn't sound like the case here.
so like 3/4 salt water and 1/4 fresh to do it slowly? Also I might just get like 2 gallons of fresh water to have so I can control it over the week.
