Nice, you gonna check them out? Its possible they are kamfas and not kilins.

Icks getting worse and I'm getting pissed. I picked up more Coppersafe so I am now going at 100% dose. Luckily none of the other fish are catching it.

Did you get some aquarium salt young man?

I'm telling you aquarium salt is the single most underrated yet vital ingredient to keeping hybrid's.

I have way more trouble with ick outbreak's if I don't use salt.

It is also a good idea (with fh more than parrot type fish) to worm them. I use a product called fluke tab's. There are several brand names but they all rid fish of fkuke's, fish lice, tapeworm's, anchor worm's, etc.

I forgot it. I never had luck with salt and heat.

I use salt as an additve to evey w/c. Not just when they are sick, it will prevent them from getting sick. Ick to fish is sort of like staph infection to human's in a way....it's everywhere in the aquarium but you rarely get an outbreak because your fish (hopefully, lol) have a good immune system and can fight it off.

Hybrid's however have a weaker immune system than many fish not neccasarily because they are a hybrid but because they have been linebred (inbred) so extensively. I know I sound like a commercial for an aquarium salt company but I really believe it to be essential to the health of my fish

I never had luck with salt and heat.

You will rid him of it faster with the addition of coppersafe and salt.

I guarantee it.
