Added 4 CL’s to my 55g tank on Sunday. Tank currently holds 2 angels, 4 blue flame tetras, 1 blue eyed lemon BN pleco, 1 starlight BN pleco

i just got Rid-Ich plus and turned heater up to 86 (water currently at 82, was at 79)Just did about a 40% water change then added Rid-Ich. Should I do another water change in the morning and gravel vac? Should I add salt as well? None of the other fish are showing spots.
Never have dealt with ich before so kinda freakin out!

I’d dose the medicine per the instructions which can be daily. No salt since already adding meds.

One of my blue flame tetras is on the verge of death floating on bottom but breathing, no white spots on him or any other tankmates besides loaches. Anything i can do to save him idk whats going on

The temperature may be too high for the Flame Tetra to tolerate. Also test your water parameters possibility Ammonia or Nitrite may be positive.

I did turn temp down it was set to 85 and woke up to digital thermometer reading 89, cant figure out why so i turned it to 84 and its back down to around 85 now. Parameters were Ph 7.6,ammonia 0.25, nitrite 0, nitrate 5.0
