I'm battling ich right now in a 55G tank. I've had the temp at 89F for over a week now, and the ich is in it's 3rd cycle. I've added 6 TBSP of salt and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I'm starting to notice some ragged fins and whatnot - I think the temp and/or salt is taking a toll on my serpae tetras.
I'm planning on backing off the temp tonight and falling back to coppersafe. I have 19 swordtail fry that are about 2 months old, 5 black molly fry that are about 1 week old, 7 zebra danios, 5 serpae tetras, 5 black neons and 2 plecos. Anyone see a problem with that plan? I have 2 ivory snails that I'm going to re-home for a while during the treatment.
