So I really need some advice. When I said the fish on shared filtration at the LFS didn't look so hot, Im pretty sure I saw ich.
Now, I have no idea how susceptible catfish are to ich, I saw no visible spots on the brochis (albeit they came in today). I know it was dumb to get them, but they never come around.
My thought was, treat for ich anyway, then monitor for other issues (flukes, parasites- no idea if these are WC or tank bred).
I don't have ich meds safe for cories at the moment so have to get some.
Otherwise, what do you think is a realistic timeline to assume that ich meds worked? Or should I wait to treat until I'm sure they're carrying it? I don't want to take any chances, they can stay in QT as long as needed. I have only dealt with ich twice before and my cories didn't seem affected, only tetras, so I'm
Not sure if I should pretreat or wait.
