For the first time in at least 15 years an Ich outbreak! What a bummer.
In the 55 in my office I noticed 2 fish with Ich. Lace Syndontis and a RT Botia. I removed them from the 55 and put them into a 10 gallon.
I set the ten up as follows...
Filter...Aquaclear 150 that was hanging on the 55 in prep for just this sort of problem. 2 sponges, no carbon.
Heater...tank is at 82 F.
Additional aeration via a small pump and airstone.
Water...6 gallons from the 55 and 4 from the tap. (properly de-chlorinated).
Medication...Quick cure. This is what we always used before but after 3 days their is absolutely no improvement. Is their a new Ich med out there better than QC?
I feel like a newbie! I have'nt had to deal with this in so long it's like I am starting over!
