My 60 gallon tank has got an ich problem! I've jacked the temp up and that does indeed seem to be working. Most fish don't have any more signs of ich at all. There are still a couple that do though. Both my emerald rainbowfish. Especially the largest and he's also suffering from fin rot. I haven't added anything to the tank except Melafix for his fin rot but that doesn't seem to be helping at all. It's worse actually. I'm wondering if I need to up the water temp some more. I'm not sure of safety levels. I've gotten mixed info from the web. Right now the tank fluctuates between 82 and 84 degrees fahrenheit. Will the warmer water inhibit the fin rot?
