Help Please... How to Treat Ich w/ Shrimp?

[JesseMessykinn]

Ok so One Problem after Another, I think My Neons are getting Ich. Starting to see Very Small White Dots on them. I havent Noticed till today and it sould be early stages.

The Biggest Promblem is a have 8 Neons, as well as other fish and about 10-12 Shrimp... Removing isnt a Option... I been Reading all Diffrent Cures for it, but I dont know where to really turn!

Please Help!

Edit: I also have Plants...

I used the heat treatment with my shrimp and they did fine:

Raise heat slowly to 86 F

Add an airstone to increase oxygenation

Do gravel vacs every 2-3 days to remove ich spore from substrate

Maintain schedule for minimum of 2 weeks

Problem w/ Gravel vac.. ive got a sand bed. Just Shift the sand around?

Just do a normal cleaning like you would with sand. Vaccuum over the top of it.

Some people suggest to add salt besides the heat treatment.... But I dont know if the salt will affect your shrimp...

Generally salt is not needed for the heat method is sufficient.

I dont think my heater is going to get hot enough with my house being so cold, and I had have the time or money to get another heater. So I Rolled the Dice with Super Ich Cure.

Did half dose, 10 to 12 Hours ago, Watching the Shrimp. All seem fine as of now. My Shrimp are still young, seem to be doing fine. When I CAN See them.
