I am positive that my fish have Ich! I have some Ick Away with 0.075% malachite green. I put the recommened dose in 1tsp:10gal. Upped the water temp (it's now up to 75). Added 1tsp salt. Removed the carbon filter. I tried to add more air stones, but I couldn't get my gang valve to work. (I have hatchetfish and am worried the increase in temp will lower the oxygen level too much for them and therefore, stress them out even more).
After I added the malachite green, I read the bottle and it said "Do not use on tetras". Well, of course, I have Red-Eyed Tetras. My own stupid fault for not reading thoroughly first.
Does this sound like I'm doing everything I can or something I should not have done?
Am I using the best medication or a medication that is too strong?
Help!,
