great point. I always make sure to check temp. before adding water. I'm just wondering if your loaches were the first to show signs of ich. Had similar experience, lost all my 5" loaches this to ich, all 5 of them.orlok said:When you do your water changes (especially large ones) make sure the new water going in is the same temperature as the old water in the tank.
I use a common aquarium thermometer when I use my python or buckets for just this reason.
A sudden change in water temperature is usually the cause. Especially a sudden drop in temperature. It compromises the fish's immune system. So make sure you have a reliable heater.
Oh yeah...
Tell your dad to get his own tank!

I know many MFK members and admins are dad's themselves and im not saying that dad's are all the same as i will be one one day aswell BUT dad's do tend to have a stubborn mind and think they know everything...
I'm 21 and still get told what to do and how to do it all the time, dont get me wrong i LOVE my dad and will ALWAYS respect him and he has brought me up to be who i am now but all of us have to do things for ourself sooner or later....
Didn't mean to offend any dad's out there, if i did i apologise...
ANYWAYS LETS GET BACK TO FISH!

You didn't, all of the dads know other dads that aren't worth the dynomite to blow them up.
Glad to see you cutting yours some slack... often parents are under pressures that you won't know untill you are one.I missed this post or I would have told him to forget the meds and try salt. Use one cup per 30gal and raise the heat to low 80's

Rid-Ich is more detrimental to your tank than Salt..
It's a mixture of Malachite Green and Formalin, which in combination is very lethal.. Make sure you don't overdose.
By the way, If I'm not mistaken, Malachite Green and/or Formalin can destroy nitrifying bacteria. But I'm sure your pops knew that already..
Loaches are more sensative to Ich, because they are scaleless fish (aren't they?)..
Did you lock your Dad in that room yet?
