ya i found that out if i knew they were so prone to ich i would of stayed away from them but took them on trade for two 12" algae eaters on a wimb kinda thing the ones i received were good till i bought 4 more from Petsmart (never buy from them again my bad )
Don't do a 50% change with just cold. Change maybe 10- 20 %, focusing on the gravel more for now. Then do another tomorrow, and the next day, but just little increments for now. You have a big tank, and that would be a big shock. Make sure if you tear everything down, that you do let it cycle properly before you get the TSN, (i know I said Tig earlier) and Aro. Yes that cray can easily be the TSN's snack.
oh ya guarntee from petsmart i went back and looked in there tank and sure as hell its in there tanks ya that TSN has a huge mouth he is cool fish
mamapuff;4093614; said:That's correctI would leave the lights off until the ich is gone. The ich spores love light, and without it (or a host) they will die off.
I don't think that is completely correct. I could be wrong, but as far as I know, no stage in the ich lifecycle requires photosynthesis.
Leaving the lights off is still a good idea because the infected fish will be less stressed.
