Oh and as far as heat goes I've used the method and its great. Ich can only survive for 48 with out a host it is very unlikely it lies "dormant".
well tomorrow will be day 5.. the water is near 90f... fish are still riddled with dots, but they aren't dying anymore.. I don't think this medicine is doing anything..
Its been around 88-90f for 3 days, I did lower it down to 86 tho tonight. There really is no way to lower the heat slowely with the old heater she has.. 78f on It is around 86f.. Its a 55 gal it wont drop in temps quickly anyway.
Im using rid ich + this stuff isn't doing crap id figure after 5 day I would at least see my fish getting better, but one of my platy's is literally coverd I mean coverd in white dots.. Im going to try salt tomorrow.. but im really low on funds... I've spent $300 on both tanks, between fish, meds, fake and live plants, a new heater for mine, the uv filter ect.. I really don't wanna spend anymore money

Ok I guess I'll buy some aquarium salt.. but im down to my last $20..... I wish I could just use some table salt.. I put 4 teaspoons in the other day they didn't seem to mind it.. Cant I just use regular salt...
The meds suck
Do salt. It will work
