I have a tank with 3 large fantail goldfish, a Raphael catfish, a Pictus catfish and a tiny clown pleco. The one goldfish and pleco were added to the tank last Sunday from an aquarium store and now all our goldfish have white spots all over them. To acclimate then we let them float in their bags waited a little while added some tank water to the bag waited added a little more water to the bag waited and then let them into the tank. But I believe Our new fish brought ich):
All of our ammonia, nitrates/nitrites, ph and everything seem to be fine and we do weekly 25% water changes and vacuum the gravel. Then we remove decorations as needed and rinse them under the sink with no chemicals.
We do have a small 5 gallon tank we could use as a quarantine tank it’s not ideal since it’s not cycled and it’s not a lot of room for 6 fish but hopefully if we need to quarantine them for a short amount of time it would be okay.(?)
It took us months to figure out how to cycle the tank and the past few months our fish have finally been living and doing good but we have no idea how to treat ich and I don’t want my fish to die): any advice on how to treat the fish and get the ick out of our tank would be greatly appreciated!!!
