Hey guys, Stargaze here again.
Not sure if anyone remembers me posting about some sick tiger barbs awhile back but erm; I found out the problem.
At least one, if not all of the barbs had ich. Which I discovered and had been treating about two and a half weeks ago. I had been treating my fish with Ick-Guard tablets for the large portion of treatment. The lesser part was with Rid-Ich. (Temperature was around 80)
After two weeks, All of my fish had degraded fins and were dropping off one by one. Today I finally decided to euthanize my remaining fish to prevent any further suffering.
I'm really sad and upset to have lost them. But I couldn't bare seeing them suffer anymore.
Now I have my tank with no fish, no ornaments, just the gravel and a half a bottle of left over Rid-Ich poured into it. I don't know what I should do now.... Do I keep treating the tank for ich? Or do I empty it out, hot rinse everything, and start all over again with an uncycled tank and new filter media?
