Any unusual signs they exhibit yet? We can't treat until they start showing unusual signs. The problem with columnaris is they actually exist in every tank but will not strike until the fish is weakened horribly by the parasites initiating an attack.

Vacuum the substrate there thoroughly. If more than an inch deep, I think it's time you reduce it just enough to cover the glass bottom. Then do a large water change.

Do you still have enough salt with you just in case? You need plenty of salt. Rock salt or pickling salt can also be used.

I have enough aqarium salt left to treat 400 gallons... No there is no unusual signs all the fish are active and eating and the fish that had ick made a recovery... I will do a 40-50% water change today and vacum the gravel

I feel so happy the midas is recovering and has started to eat bloodworms he was so hungry but i only gave him 2 cubes so i wont overfeed him...

 

[Lupin]

Glad to hear that. Try other foods if he will eat them. I think go with the most appetizing ones first. Fresh foods before commercial dry foods.

 

[xinchavoc]

Ok thanks.... What kind of fresh foods do you mean?

 

[Lupin]

Shrimps, mussels, daphnia, bloodworms, chopped earthworms if you can find these stuff.

 

[xinchavoc]

Only ones i have are bloodworms, and shrimp

It'll work. Alternate each day but it would be nice if you can come up with other options.
