Using Heat to Treat Ich in Freshwater Tropical Fish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
^ thats messed up!
 
I always use the raise the temp in my tanks for two weeks if I notice any ich, and I have never lost a fish to it :) Be careful of using salt. Some fish such as plecos don't tollerate it well at all.
How high have you raised your temp too? I’m trying this method out because I fed my Jardini a swordtail fish I had for months but he couldn’t catch it and developed stress ich lol. Tank is planted heavily so trying to raise it to 89.5F for 3-4 days then 86F for 6-7 days after.
