Raised up reddish-pink bumps

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It was me I would of opted for heat/salt for ich treatment and a separate antibiotic for bacterial issues but if I was going to use paragaurd I would follow their instructions. It does seem like a lot of medication on your fish though.

Here's a excerpt

Common Fish Diseases Treatable with ParaGuard

Ich (White Spot)
Ichthyophthirius (freshwater) / Cryptocaryon (saltwater)
Looks like salt sprinkled on the fish’s body and fins. Usually accompanied by twitching, flashing, and other signs of stress and irritation. Several parasites are grouped under this name, but the symptoms are almost identical. Ich is among the most common infections of fish, and is entirely treatable with diligence and attention to water quality.
Suggested Treatment Period:
14 days in freshwater, up to 28 days in saltwater
Special Considerations
It is very important with this parasite to continue dosing for the full treatment period. A break in the medication allows the parasite to multiply and reinfect the fish.

ick has a few life cycles, if going with heat, temp needs ,to be above 86deg for 3 weeks, or 2 weeks after you no longer see on your fish. any break in this just like the meds, lets them re-establish and it all has to start over again.
 
for signs of stress, lethargic, loss of color and apatite. heavy breathing.

any or all of these are signs of stress.
