Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello again everyone.
I've been treating an Ich problem for the last 5 days on the advice from my LFS and the great people on this site. I raised the temp to 86, removed the charcoal from my filter and have been using 15 drops of Quick Cure each day. I'm happy to report that there is no visible sign of the disease on any fish, they are all eating well and they all seem frisky and happy. My question is, how can I be sure the disease is gone? When should I stop medicating, repalce the charcoal and begin to gradually lower the temperature back to the normal of 80?
Another topic of concern is the discoloration of one of my Rainbow sharks. The fish seems to have areas of its body that appear to be getting lighter. I hadn't noticed it before yesterday. The fish is acting normally and the other Rainbow shark has uniform color. Are Rainbow Sharks a scaleless spiecies like a Loach?
Thanks
