Hi all

as you will notice I'm pretty new to this and think I have ballsed up!! I have 2 180 Jewel visions and a 110 (litres) when setting up my new 180 I took media from one of the other filters to help it alone the way waited 3 weeks and then slowly started to add fish. All going great :) we then added more from a very reliable source and all still going good :) then we got some from a not so good source and Iv not got a tank full of ich :eek: not good. One of the fish (most are molly's looking to get larger as i get better but by my cock up might be a while) has dropped a few sprogs! Dosed the tank with ich treater, increased the temp a little and added a small amount of tropical salt to keep the stress down!! All seemed to be going ok but after the second dose I got a large bacterial bloom??? Which I wasnt expecting. Another female looked really down and the missus transfered her to the 110 ltr where she then gave out 30 babies :D but also gave the tank ich :cry: in this tank we also have 2 african dwarf frogs will the ich trwatment affect them??? Is there something I should be doing aswell?? Iam going to buy some new ich treatment as the old one is old and not got rid of it!!

Normal answers to the normal questions I have noticed on the forums!
Nitrates, nitrites, ammonia and PH fine!!
Poss slight over feeding as had 2 small plec's (one has died for no reason no ich and not underfed!!)

Ant ideas would be greatfull?!?

Regards C
 
I use rid ick +, it's the best stuff I have ever used, got rid of the worst ick in three days. Frogs are VERY sentitive to it and it should not be used with frogs. It will kill them or peel their shin off.

Thanks for the quick response ill have to think of some thing to do with the frogs they look nice with skin on!!!
 
Stop using the meds, its only going to stress the fish more. Over a time period of three days increase your temperature to 86 and add aquarium salt. tbsp per 5 gallons. let it go like this for a week, then do a water change. If you still have ich, which you shouldnt, leave the temp up and redose the salt. After ich is gone, decrease the temp back to 80.

I use this method to treat every tank ive had that has ever had ich, and usually rids ich within 4 days.
