My cichlid tank is dying. Some sort of crazy super strain of ich is slowly kill my tank.



Using nox-ich ,mala-fix ,salt ,and raised temps did nothing !!!



My polleni then my true parrots are next to go from the look of things.

The only things not bothered are a bicher ,two HRP x convicts ,an HRP ,and a peacock cichlid.

try products from API i and a friend used it helped dramatically. one of his fish was brought back from the dead

if you think its parasitic then try strong copper or a salt bath, I know you already tried salt but make a batch of actual saltwater and dip the infected into that for a few minutes. very few species of parasites can survive both fresh and salt water

Screw those pansy efforts. Formalin for the win. No such thing as ich that can survive a proper dose of formalin for nine days.

if it wer me and it was lookin bleek i would remove fish from ther and put them in a fresh bucket or tank and keep changing water and use what ever meds u think will work best on ich, and then b4 u put fish back in ther home tank i would boil the gravel and totaly start over that tank,
damm tho i hope u get it sorted

I have never used formalin, but I did hear that it is good for treating resistant strains of ich.

Could it be velvet? In marine tanks, what's sometimes described as super-ich is actually velvet...
