Gentlest ich med? New angels with a Raphael cat...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Glad it's working! For future cases, Kordon Rid-Ich+ is the only med I've found that is truly catfish-safe. I'm sure there may be other meds that are just as good/safe, but I havent used them & I can get Rid-Ich+ at any Petsmart in the country. Also, if your tank does have a bad reaction to it, Amquel+ will neutralize it.
 
Sure thing. Just be careful because so many of those products claim to be safe for scaleless fish in half doses, but arent. I know that one is safe & I like having the antidote (Amquel+) in the same drawer, just in case. They also have another product called "Ich Attack", a weekly vitamin/supplement that helps to prevent ich. It wont help once the ich has started, but I haven't had ich since I started using it. Good luck!
 
I 2nd Jake's suggestion. The only thing I'd dare use on my precious Raphaels if they got ich (knock on woood!) is Kordon's Rid Ich+. Make sure it's the bottle with the plus sign after the name. It'll say right on there it's safe for catfish.
