Aquarium Advice Newbie
I have a ten gallon aquarium with only four remaining fish alive - they include a small catfish, and three tetras. Two platys, two guppies, and a plecostmus have died in the last few days (all with similar signs of Ick - white spots, almost like bubbles that covered their bodies which came on very rapidly). The other four fish appear normal/healthy.
After a delay in treating this disease, I went to a local pet store to get an idea what to do. I have added aquarium salt, increased the temp to 79-80 F, and started Rid ICH + (for use once a day for several days). My question is - how long do I need to keep treating them? And how long do I need to wait before replacing some of my fish? The bottle doesn't say anything about this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
