I have to agree as well with it coming from my feeder fish, I have for the past month been trying to ween my bass from feeder fish. They only get feeders once a week now instead of everyday, and the ICH problem has only reoccured ONCE in that month.

Sorry I haven't responded in a while, thanks for all the great advice, I have upgraded my filters and all the fish are now in the new tank, all is well and I don't have any of my previous problems. Thanks again

Thanks for the advice, but a month of fasting these fish for days at a time has seemed to do no good at all, maybe since they are a wild species, genetically that just won't realize pellets are their food. Although I am determined so I haven't given up just yet. Again thanks for the great advice.

Yes I found this out, and you read my other post this is one of the main reasons for me trying to get the Bass off feeders completely. It was late when I posted myself, I had forgotten that I not only suspected my water but possibly the feeder fish, or a combo of both. Thanks all for the help.

I have 2 wild....now I will say it again because it seems people ignore me when I say that, WILD Peacock Bass. Which feed far different from pen raised Peacock Bass. They are still VERY young, only about 4 inches in length, if that. I have a friend who had two pen raised Bass and he told me...

Ok, the local fish store hasn't been too helpful as to why this keeps happening, seriously about once a month my fish end up with Ich. I get rid of it no problem in about a week and a half to two weeks. But sure enough a month later they get it again...Ich that is. A little info on my...

Ok so I know this is the getting started forum, and although I am not exactly "getting started" I thought this was an appropriate forum for my question, sorry if it's in the wrong forum. I am not really new to fish or aqariums but having not owned a tank in some 12 years I have noticed...
