Before
In tank:
2 dwarf rainbow
1neon tetra
3 cardinal tetra

Added new :
Blue ram
6 long silvery with red eyes n nose

After I added new fish, it was obvious they were sick ( the 6 long silvery with red eyes n nose, I was dead next day) an ich started to appear on some fish. Added 1/2 dose of Nox-Ich and slowly killed away all my tetras. The long silvery ones died off 1x1. I put them in another tank, I assumed they were the culprit to this mess( they are all slowly looking like there are going to die) . Raised the temp in the original tank and noticed that the ich signs looked better but now it looks like its coming back. I am afraid to use the nox-ich again. Is this medication fine for the blue ram and dwarf rainbow's?
Taken out carbon.
Increased water temp .
Adding air stones .
Doing water changes.
Highly frustrated .
 
Honestly with no nitrates it looks like your tank isn't cycled. For ich just raise the temp to 86, perform water changes as normal and run the heat for about 2 weeks. And if your tank isn't right your ram will suffer.

I bumped up the temp and found some API super ick cure but it expired 2 months ago. Dumped those in. C what happens. ..

But if all else fails u think I just need to bump up temp and wait it out?

Thanks for your input
 
I would do a 50% water change to get rid of some of the chemicals and just strictly do a heat treatment. But I'm puzzled why your tank has no nitrates
 
Omg what in the world is going on !
have the master kit to check the levels. I Match the colors and it indicates 0. Fishes are dying off- except for blue ram and male rainbow dwarf. The female had an ick spot on side that settled down but left a deep whitesh line. Is this something else that I need to treat further. She looking not so good. One of the diseased fish that died had the same looking thing.
