Heat method could be tried. This method needs to be started at first sign of ich as the ich will get worse while you are gradually lifting the temp up to 86F.
My experience with meds or salt is that after say 4 days the plants start to suffer. Perhaps others can comment more though.
Yea I just can't raise it that high because of my plants .. they will melt quick at that temp. I have it around 79 80 right now and I contacted api and other users that have tried api Ali and they said they had no issues .. so I'm giving that a shot. It's only 2 fish that are showing it right now and so far they don't look worse and none of my other show any signs but Im Keeping a close on it.. thank you though
I wish to know of your progress. Also what is the product you will be using? I have just noticed that in my 75g planted tank, 2 fish so far have contracted ich.
So I will be going to the pet store tomorrow and pick up some the API medicine.
Let me know how it works for you and effect (if any) on plants.
These plants were all in tank several weeks ago when I had to treat for Ich. Used the ATI medication as directed and have seen no ill effects of the plants.
