I just added an atabapo pike cichlid to my tank with my two red tail payaras and the forskahlii tiger fish. Everyone is getting along great but the pike now has ich.. I had the same thing happen when I first got the tats and cured it with a little heat and salt, i’m considering trying a heat only approach this time around as i’ve heard raising temps to 86° will kill the parasite. I’m sure the pike can handle it but i’m not sure about the tiger and the tats. Any suggestions?
