any help would be nice, thanks

theyre probably ichhy

NTT's are very acceptable too ich when acclimating, get a bottle of ich medicine medicate as the DIRECTIONS STATE.
Also look for white spots on their fins.

It's normal, dont' add med. You can, however, add some salt.

 

[MikeGF123]

so it is normal just add salt and it will fix them?

 

[vaine111]

If it's more then the occasional flicker then medicate. But if they are just doing it occasionally you can add salt. The meds work fast.
Mine had white spots on the fins and the scratching was real intense. Turns out they had pop eye too.

It's normal for them to scratch. But add some salt to prevent infection.

i think they might have ich, i pulled my clown loachs out and they have little white spots on them! i think its spreding to the dats, does ich kill? and if i put the med in how long do i use it for? whats pop eye?

 

[MikeGF123]

i think they do have ich, i pulled my clown loachs out and they had little white spot all over them, i have ich remover how long should i use it? should i still add a lil salt, and what is pop eye?

If the fish have ick, do a 50% wc, raise the temp to 85, and add salt. Don't add med.
