Sat night, all our fish looked great. Sun night, all 4 phantom tetras were COVERED in ich. I slowly raised the water temp (it's holding at 87), and gave the phantoms a salt bath (I have a snail, so I couldn't add salt to the tank). Within hours of the salt bath, the smallest phantom died (he was the worst off). I did a 50% WC each day for 2 days, and we lost the other 3 phantoms slowly over the next 2 days Our endlers were acting stressed from the heat (they showed no signs of ich), and after going on vacation for 2 days, we came home to 1 of the endlers dead. The other neon is okay (still no ich), and our neons have a few spots on their fins, but are eating and acting normal (a little slower from the heat, but normal).
I was running 2 filters on the tank to cycle the new one for my son's new 20 g. Do I need to replace all filters and/or wait until the ich is gone before I move that filter to the new tank? Since the endler is not showing any signs of ich, should I move him to the new tank to get him out of the heat? The new tank will be his permanent home anyway. Is there anything else I should be doing? I did a 60% WC just now...
Thanks!
