So still a newbie here and didn't have a QT - bought some Rummynose Tetras that I now realize had Ich (small white grains of salt).
Raised the temp to 82F (have guppies and Blackline rasboras also) - lost three of the four RN tetras - one remaining (know they need company but not sure want to put anything else in tank right now).
Treated the tank with API Super Ich Plus - so far the other fish appear okay although one of the blackline rasboras has started hanging out lower in the tank.
My confusion is this - treated twice with SIP but will this be enough? The lifecycle of ich seems to be 2 weeks approx so how will 2 48 hour treatments be enough?
