so i recently bought this green terror.. from a LFS it had some white spots or ich on it and i thought eh.. i can treat it no problem i brought it home.. started doing the treatments and then 10% water changes took out my nitrate filter and carbon active, added aquarium salt and added ich medication every 24hrs and its been about.. 3-4 days and it seems to be getting worse? what the heck iam i doing wrong?!i never had this problem before..
 
There is no reason to do water changes while you are treating unless your parameters are becoming unhealthy. When you do water changes, you remove salt and meds that you put in.

No meds + 4 tablespoons of salt for every 5 gallons + 84 degrees has always worked perfectly for me.
 
mhmm so no water changes right? carbon + nitrate filer must come out? and table salt? i thought your suppose to use aqaurium salt?
 
lol tablespoon not table salt .....hmmmmm that made me laugh

IMO meds are kinda crappy sometimes they work....sometimes they don't ......i usually end up adding more med than i should and kill my fish lol .....so now i just use salt and heat

also when my fish had white spot it got worse and then they just all .....fell off lol if that makes sence
