So, my tank recently got an Ich infestation. I've lost 2 of my Neons during treatment. One of them apparently got pop-eye? Is that normal? He was perfectly fine before the infestation and ich, but can ich/raised temperature/salt cause that?
Anyway.. I have this "temple" decoration, and part of it sort of covers the substrate. I had it nicely settled on the gravel, but then I thought, it might not be a good idea, since if the water doesn't flow to well in there, the ich can possibly survive. I'll attach some photos so you guys can check it out and see what I mean.
I do wonder, if it's covered, will the ich die by itself trapped under there? No right? Thinking back it might have been a bad idea to get this decoration, ich infested or not, but it just looks so good. I want to know what you guys think. I wonder if it actually stops the flow in some areas. That's bad right? Or will it not matter if I really "settle" it into the gravel??
Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
