ick help with scaleless fish in oscar tank

[festaedan]

I raise the temp and add copper. 1 drop for every gallon. Copper kills all crustations, ich being one. I would not recomend it it of fish under an inch.

No no, you're fine. Keep the temp at 88 (as long as the fish are not in distress) for roughly 10 days. That will ensure the parasite is eradicated. Don't stop the treatment just because you don't see the parasite or because the fish are acting normally.

ok thank you I guess I was stupid for what I did. I was reading on this website where I read about using salt. I am still new to fish I guess I was just trying to help my fish. I guess I learned the hard way...

its okay buddy we all been there

ok I will keep temp at 88 for 10 days and see what happens thank you so much

 

[evox53187]

how many water changes should I do in those 10 days

 

[L98Z28]

I would do two a week at least. Maybe 30% at a shot. Just make sure when you fill up the tank the water is the same temp.
