Clown Loaches have ICK

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
3/4 dose Quick Cure. I know most of you will recommend a half dose, but trust me, it rarely works. Often, the Ick continue to run rampant and reproduce. A 3/4 dose is not enough to kill the fish, but it is powerful enough to kill Ick. However, just know once scaleless fish pass a certain point, surviving is VERY rare.
 
Yep, its hard for clown loaches to defeat ich unfortunately:(

What is the temp in their tank?Try raising the temp to 80 and increase the aeration.Like the man said,clowns don't do well once they are infected.
 
**** that...

I just got some 4-5 inch CL's in and threw them in with my amazon puffers, and of course the ****ers got ich after 4 days...

I dosed them with salt and kept the temp at about...82-84 and after 5 days it went away, and the amazon puffers got it but it also, but it cured them also...
My loaches also had it head to tail hardcore and it cleared up really fast, so it's VERY possible for it to cure it quickly.

Salt and heat work wonders.

Good Luck!
 
lots of salt, crank temp to upper 80s maybe even lower 90s and cover the tank. Darkness, salt, hot temp means ich die real fast. cured mine in about a day and a half.
 
my loaches just had it too. Rid-Ich+ at full strength , 88f temp with 1/4 water change everyday did the trick for me. Gone in 2 days. Make sure you up the oxygen too, heat and meds tend to use it up.
