Well I recently moved, (not to far) and my whole setup had to be drained and moved etc etc. I just noticed some Ich on my juvy pbass. My temp has been raised, right now its at 87.6F, I add disolved aquarium salt slowly every 12 hours, rougly 10tsp for 10g (the tank is 90g) I also removed the carbon insert and added Coppersafe as well. Tank inhabitants are
1 Tiger Oscar, 1 Common Pleco, 1 Pbass, and 1 Channel Cat. I just want to make sure the water temp isnt going to hurt the other fish in there. I have the tank airated.

My tank chemistry is Ammonia 0ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate 10ppm


The Peacock Bass is the only one with the Ich right now, he eats like a pig still, isnt showing any signs of distress either.
 
I wouldn't worry too much about the temp, all those fish will thrive in water that temp. My juvi monos had ich recently and I added some coppersafe and raised the temp and it went away in like a week. You should be fine.
 
Cool, thanks for the input. Now that you speak of it, they seem a lot more active swimming now that the temp is up a bit. I only ever had Ich once before and used Malachite Green (hate that stuff) and I wanted to use a less harmful approach this time.
