bad fast I'v been looking for roomates for my polly,(See my phyco for more detales).I put in 2 ropes and a shovel noise tiger, thats where things started to go so wrong so fast.
I spotted (ICK),so ovisaly I started treatment, One week gose buy little improvement .But I woke up this morning and fond dead rope fish.
So off to the store I went to try some new meds.
I was told to try MARDEL COPPER SAFE so I got it whent home to use.
After I shut off my pumps and lights ect I used meds,fired it up too realise that was not the only problume.
after pumps came on it starteld my fish out of hidding and so I started inspection of every one to spot my other new rope his tait and neak were
peeling at a closer look I saw it was a rote.
I have never had a problume with this tank before it is now gust starting all at once what do I do I am despret for advise

To treat ich, just bump the temp up to around 80 or higher depending on stocking and salt...

x2 on turning the temp up to 80'..usually gets rid of most problems.

I have heard that you aren't supposed to add more than two fish at a time as it can mess up your tank. But don't quote me on that.

agreed with the temp treatment... you should only use meds as a last resort since they can cause more problems

 

[bluestarjazz]

the two fish at a time rule is so you don't re-cycle your tank when adding fish.
what would you do if your tank is already at 80?

i bumped mine up to the 82ish range and added salt

instantly got rid of most of it. took about 10 days for it to completely dissapear

meds shoudl be used as a last resort only

My hair is so going to fall out.
My bichir is now sick,
When he was young he had come down with a case of cloudeye, but I got on it right away.
It always was in the right eye, but I have always been able to clear it up ,no problume.I even have a med tank on the go at all times.
The one eye got bad one time, but I was able to stop it from geting any worse so it was a little cloudy but he has maneged just fine.
He has quite the caracture, I can feed him buy hand and he will rest in my hand if he not in a pissy mood.
As you can tell I am really atached to too the little guy.
Now since the other problumes started his good eye has come down with cloudeye I have done water changes I have been using meds but I fear all is in vaine.
I put him in my med tank tooken all the right prosgers but he is not recovering at all.
I am so fustrated, nothing I do is helping.
I bought this tank for him ya its nice too have a big tank but my hole set up revolvse around him.
Nothing matters as much as he dose.
Cost dosen't mean a thing to me.
What do I do

Maybe this thread will help. Ropes are prone to getting infections which probably infected the rest of your tank
