OK, I added a new goldy to my tank, after QT. The new fish has no sign of ich .... BUT every one of my other golds now has ich!!!
OK, so all my golds are in the QT after a salt bath of 1%. I plan to keep them in 0.3% salt & temp of 80 (increasing over the next few days) for a week or 2.
But what to do with the hillies? Loaches can't tolerate salt or high temp, and don't do well with quick cure (or so I heard). Anyone had experience with treating them?
BTW - I don't see any ich on the hillies, but they are small (1") so rather hard to see.
TIA.
PS - tank as in sig. Water parameters - pH 7.8, temp 70, NH3/NO2/NO3 0/0/10 <adding KNO3 to bring up the NO3 for the plants>
