Aquarium Advice FINatic
I recently posted about a possible ich problem. I have come to the conclusion that it is ich and I started treatment today and need your advice. Today I bought a second heater and have the temperature at 80 degrees where I will raise it a little more tonight. My goal for the temperature is 85 degrees hoping it won't kill my guppies, rams, neon tetras, dwarf gouramis, clown pleco, shrimp, and snails. I did a 25% water change. I can't add salt as it will kill my snails, shrimp, and plants. SO, what I did instead was I had my LFS fill a bag of water and put aquarium salt in it to where it reads as saltwater. The gold ram where I see has ich on the fins, I put in the saltwater for 30 seconds but I think it went terribly wrong. The fish squirmed and flipped upside down and I was able to pick her seemingly lifeless body up with my hand and I put her back in the tank where she was upside down and lifeless for 5 seconds. She is fine now I think but it really scared me. I was told I need to do this tomorrow too. Am I doing everything right?
