Is this ich? I'm afraid of the answer...

[Convict2161]

Are the spots disappearing yet, or just not getting worse?

Disappearing. Some just have like "wounds" where the ich was. The first fish that I posted is completely better... Well no spots at all. Just like scares.

Haha thanks!! There all looking good!! No new spots. Just a few on my clown loach but haven't seen anything new. Just did another water change and didn't realize how much I actually took out because I was so involved in cleaning my substrate, rocks and driftwood. Ended more like a 70% change. Also changes out all my poly fill with a fresh new batch in the HOB's

[completelycich]

So glad it is going well!!!! Hope your loach does just as good!

Oh man... Sorry about that.

I knew the salt would take a toll, but the rest of the guys look great. He was a great looking cat though.

Yeah I hope the cat fish and loaches can handle the salt.

My emporer pleco and BN were fine, if that helps...

It does. Good to know. Thanks.

Just did my 50% water change, cleaned substrate, rocks and driftwood. Added salt for amount of water added. That's pretty much it. No new spots showing and everyone looks really good.

Oh and I messed up on temp match. I was chasing my son around while doing this. So it was 2 degrees off. Hope that doesn't hurt anything. The heaters are catching up pretty well. I added a third as a back up.

 

[completelycich]

LOL that won't hurt anything! You are doing a thoroughly great job!

I am STILL battling this bacterial bloom. I guess my BB took a pretty good hit. Frustrating. I keep PWC, but feel like it is just staying hazy. My 9 year old told me the water looked blurry. UGH!!! Even a 9 year old noticed. Driving me crazy. Sorry for the rant, but I know you will understand my OCD not allowing this to be easy! Haha

Oh I fully understand. It looks like its getting better. Trying to find fish with any spots is getting harder and harder. Day 10 today
