ICH questions

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My 2 cents - I would not add any medicines to a tank with clown loaches. As stated - just use the temp only method- I can tell you that it works. Add additional air supply during this process just to be safe. Good luck!

So I added a air pump. Did a large water change added api aquarium salt. Heat at 88 . One P. Bass Is definitely not going to make it. Appears to have HITH and isn't swimming right.
 
It has a huge hole in its forehead and is breathing and moving fins but pretty much being tossed around in the current. Should I flush em?

temp is already at 88. turned heater down a little. i can add air stone i can take from another tank if needed but i have a hob filter agitating the water and have live plants , is this enough oxygen?

IIRC my biology, the plants will become a net consumer of oxygen when the lights are off. So, keep that in mind if you have a lot of plants and turn off your lights.
 
heat and salt was a success. all loaches are spot free and super bright orange ! look really good. ones black was very greyish in color for a few days but now is black as the others. thanks to all for advice.
 
Because one of the stages of ich is a cyst that sits dormant in the substrate for some time, it is good to do frequent vacuuming, to remove them.
Just because there are no visible spots on the fish, does not mean ich has totally left the system.
