ARRRGGG! Ick break out!

[cszachury]

I am seeing ich on my rays tank mates.

In this tank with my humerosa, is a clown knife, couple parrots, trio of dollars, bala, green severum and a couple gold severums. I'm seeing the breakout on the angelfish that also resides there. With this combo of fish, what should I medicate with? Is aquarium salt okay? I've never medicated with a ray in the tank and am a little nervous, although he shows no sign of ick, it's in the water. I am doing 35 gallon water changes, on this 180 gallon tank. Any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Ray don't get ich, I think? It's her tankmates..

Salt and Heat.. Don't use meds if you don't have to..

my ray is not showing any signs of ich, the other fish in the tank are. I'm wondering of any special precautions of treating ich in a tank with a ray.

im not a ray guy miles would know but i do know that he is right on the heat and salt it seems to be the best treatment.

Get temp to 86 or higher and treat salt 2 teaspoons per 10 gallons

paragaurd from seachem works very well for this as well
