Using Heat to Treat Ich in Freshwater Tropical Fish

[Ducati996]

Just started with Frontosas and using african salt and its suggested dose for normal setups...

Now if I had to treat for Ick would I be using the african salt or would I be using another type of salt (like non -iodide type aquarium salt) to treat Ick ? and how do they both work in conjunction with each other?

use aquarium salt and clean the walls of ur tank and perform water change you will be fine in no time and do raise the temp

I always use the raise the temp in my tanks for two weeks if I notice any ich, and I have never lost a fish to it Be careful of using salt. Some fish such as plecos don't tollerate it well at all.

I just got ich for the first time since I was a kid (15-20 years) and didn't know what to do cuz I heard medications are bad for fish like black ghosts. . . .anyway, I'm using this heat treatment and I can already see it working. Another week or so and I should be all set again. Thanks for the info guys.
