Treat Ick

[Ren714]

I noticed some white spots on one of my peacock bass and I'm assuming it is ick. What product is good to treat it and how? Could I treat it with the other 2 bass in the same tank?

I agree with bassinmike bump the temp to 86-88 deg (it should already be there anyways as that is the temp range that keeps their immune system up)... but adding salt helps as well. good rule of thumb is to add one tsp for every gallon of water in the tank.

Make sure you have an airstone and as stated....temp to 87 and add salt. If their in a 55g i would add a tsp of salt per each gallon....but use half dose. SO like 27 tsp of aquarium salt....add slowly.
