Made a mistake and bought some Anacharis from petsmart. Broke it up and put it into 2 tanks (10 gallon). This morning, my 10 gallon is showing ich. Problem is, because of the specs of both tanks (other thus far is fine), I have no idea how to treat:
10 gallon:
Plants: anacharis, anubias hastifolia, water wisteria, javafern (windelov) narrow leaf java fern, Jungle val (i think) a small shoot off of a wendetti (sp) crypt that I added from my other thank on a whim just to see what happened and a random plant I can't seem to ID (think it's an undulated crypt or a sword plant of some type).
Fish: Betta, a small school of neons and 2 albino cories
Invert: 1 Nerite snail
temp: 80 degrees
Filter Penguin Biowheel 100B
29 gallon:
Plants: anacharis, water wisteria, javafern (windelove), jungle val (again, I think), Wendetti Crypt (florida sunset), Aponogeton longiplumulosus (i think, could be some other species in that family) and a lot more of the unknown sword/crypt as described above
fish: glofish, paradise fish, dojo loach (yes, I know he totally will need a new home), cherry barbs, one remaining red irian rainbowfish.
Invert: 1 Nerite Snail
The 29 gallon is thus far fine, but I think I will eventually have to treat it too. How on earth do I treat this when I have anti-copper inverts, anti-salt plants and anti-heat tetras??????
THe LFS told me to get quick cure, but what do I do with the snails? If I tank them out, then I will have to eventually put them back in, which could reinfect the tank (or kill them anyways with the residue from the meds)...
PLEASE HELP!!!
I haven't had a chance to test water today because I have 2 little imps that are extra crazy today but the other day Ammonia and Nitrite were 0, nitrate was between 10-20 on both tanks. PH is usually around 8.0ish on both tanks... I will retest when I can...
