Hi everyone
I've been treating my tank for ich using methylene green/formaldehyde medication and slightly raised temperature. Unfortunately I have reached the end of the treatment and all of the spots have not disappeared. This is what I have done so far:
Day 1: raised temp to 28 centigrade and added half dose of medication (advised to use half dose and not too high temp because my panda corys would suffer)
Day 4: gravel vac and repeated treatment, this time with around 3/4 dose as corys seemed to react well with 1/2 dose.
Day 8: today, treatment should be complete according to bottle of meds. However some fish seem better but others still have spots.
Should I do another gravel vac and re-dose? Or would this overdose on medication? It says nothing on the bottle about what you should do if treatment fails, so any help would be appreciated!
