My new flowerhorn has ich

[Kyel]

I noticed that my flowerhorn has ich. what is the best way to treat it. I have already slowly worked the temp up to 82 degrees.

 

[Kyel]

I have also started dosing my tank with Quick Cure.

 

[fobrinkle]

temp up to about 86 and add aquarium salt.

 

[Kyel]

Can he handle 86 degrees

 

[Water]

Can he handle 86 degrees

Yes he can.

82F should be the normal temp for it.

There is no need to raise your temp beyond 82F when using Quick Cure. Quick Cure is a malachite green & formalin combo and at elevated temps these meds can seriously reduce 02 levels. (as will warm water) Just follow the instructions on the label.

 

[Kyel]

Should I still add aquarium salt

 

[RD.]

No

 

[Kyel]

Is there any particular reason why I should not add aquarium salt
