hi i posted last week...last week i added a hippo tang and immaculate puffer to my 75 gal i have 2 clowns, sailfin and damsel...
the damsel was picking on the puffer so i gave it to my lfs
i had the water tested it was good... 3 days later i see 2 spots on the puffer...now just the puffer and hippo have ich... because my my amonia and nitrates went up... i did a 10 gal water change on sun 17th.. i had just done 20gals the week before... i also treated them w "kick ick" because i have hermit crabs and snails in the tank...i turned the heat up to 80 and the salt is on the low side.... anything elese i should do?///how long should it take before the spots go away.. i dont have a QT..it just seems to happen when i add new fish...i have 5 (2clowns, hippo, sailfin,puffer) and dont plan to get anymore but i was wondering why this happens..
what do you think about freshwater dip? SHould i do just the two fish that have it?
