State of chaos
On Friday, I got a Pim Pictus and a big Spotted Rafael Catfish for my tank. I just crept up to the tank with a flashlight to watch my tank's night crew, and saw that the Pim had a pretty bad case of ich :swear: I hadn't noticed because he always hides during the day. The only fish that also had it was the new Raf Cat. I threw them both in a bucket with a blasting heater and an airstone. I wanna treat the tank, but since I have Botiine Loaches, is there anything I can do except 25% strength salt treatment and heat treating it? HELP!!
 
Ummm...What is this 25% salt treatment you are talking about? Both loaches and catfishes are tolerant to salt 1-2 teaspoons per gallon. Add a teaspoon per gallon every 12 hours and be sure you dissolve the salt before adding it.
