Yesterday i noticed that the ropefish I bought 2 weeks ago (he looked fine then) had little bumps on his head and body. I figured it was ich because he would itch himself on the decor and driftwood. I have never had a problem with ich and I dont know how to tackle it because i have a black ghost knife and i know that because they are scaleless, they are more susceptible to ich and are very sensitive. I have a gourami with a bump (looks like a zit but its brown) on her tail. Worst part is my heater stopped functioning and I don't have a heater (my house is hot and the thermometer reads 78 degrees Fahrenheit).


I upgraded from a 30 gallon tank (that was used for a year & a half) to a 60 gallon tank about 5 months ago.
Filter is: Marineland Pengiun Power Filter 200

Since yesterday, i have been using Kordon Ich Attack (5 ml per 10 gallon)

I have used a product called Cupramine to treat ich, sometimes fish have it and don't show symptoms.. They can be carriers. I also used Nite Out II (good bacteria) for three days during the Cupramine treatment to get rid of the ich and clear up the cloudiness of the water.
