ick in the 130... HELP!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
All the fish you listed will tolerate at least 2 tsp/gallon, though some plants won't, 85F or better is recommended. The fish you listed can all tolerate up to at least 90F if you bring it up slow. Add a power head or bubbler to raise the O2 level. Clowns do not tolerate formalin or copper very well but can handle the salt as long as you do keep the O2 levels up. Don't stop before 14 days, if you do expect a return of the parasite, maybe in a rewsistant form,
good luck

Thanks everyone 4 the help. I used the salt treatment method. And its working well. All my fish have recovered except for one clown loach who i pulled into the hospital tank cause he is still looking bad. So im hoping the ick is gone for good.
 
Make sure you treat the whole 10-14 days or you end up with a resistant strain.
