If you're referring to running a sterilizer, it won't help a fish that already has ick.

But a sterilizer is cheap insurance and will help prevent future outbreaks of ick and other diseases.

If you're referring to cleaning out a tank with bleach and then reassembling it, this will not help a fish that already has ick. But if your fish have already died then you MUST sterilize the tank before adding other fish. The ick can remain the water and re-infect new fish.

Should you put your fish in a bowl or tank?

it depends on how big it is if it is a goldfish or beta it can be in a bowl.If it is one of those big tiger fish or aqarium fish then put it in a big tank. A fish will grow to the size of the tank or bowl. For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank. I had a six inch goldfish in a thirty gallon tank.

That depends on what you mean to say. For example, if you have one angel fish in the tank you could say "That's the fish's tank" meaning that is the tank for the angel fish. If you also had a couple of clown fish, you could refer to the tank as belonging to all three fish by saying "That's the fishes' tank." Slightly different spelling and punctuation
