Hey guys...
Well my Caribe picked up this bout of (what I assumed was Ich from the looks of it) at least a month ago if not slightly longer from when I remember first seeing it. Well, he still has it in the one little area on his right side behind the gill (see video clip). I figured from the life cycle of Ich it would have at least dropped off by now?
Ive been doing weekly water changes and the tank temp has been at a steady 78F. It hasn't spread other than that one patch. I have got him to eat some garlic stuffed shrimp pieces over the course of a month to help boost the immune system but its still lingering. Any thoughts? I have read it can take up to ~8 weeks sometimes but I figured given his fresh water and high-ish temps it would have sped up the process. He acts normal and is always active and eating well so im kind of at a loss.
