Sorry to hear this.. I am currently giving my fish triple sulfa and lowering my temp slowly (had it raised because of Ich) and we are seeing huge improvements. Of the 2 that where showing symptoms 1 is not showing any and lost his only "pimple" over night, the jagged section of his tail is...

I am currently battling Columnaris after battling Ich for over a month.. I had Similar situation over a week ago like you described and with in the last few days the white pimple looking stuff started happening...

Today I did a 60-75% water change and removed all decorations and scrubbed the inside of the tank. I plan on scrubbing them with a tooth brush (I have a huge bag of never been used extras) and then dipping them in boiling water. I replaced the smaller air stone with my extra air stone that is...

I posted a few weeks ago about a recurrent ick problem that I just can not get to go away. I had at that point tried 3 medications, and salt treatment on my fish. It was suggested that I do a heat treatment at that time, which I have been doing since. I have my tank set at 86 right now, which...

ty was not sure of that with the paragard as I have never used it before.

Can anyone suggest a heater? I might be able to take a trip into town friday night and pic up one at petsmart. I think I read somewhere that I should try some paraguard to help fish heal. If I am wrong about this please let me know. So far I think I will try this plan: Tomorrow- 25% water...

Ouch! I felt obligated to say something but I didn't want to over step my bounds.. she was also a teen who you could tell doesn't listen well.

I live in an extremely small town our Walmart has half the stock of regular Walmart.. they basically have fish and a small end cap of food and bowls and a few chemicals. The LFS is the only one within a 2 hour drive for me.. and even that is 45 minutes away. We have a petsmart an hour away...

That is what they cost at the LFS they only carry fluval. My main concern is that it is something else and not ich.

water condition is fine... not to mention I am changing the water daily and at max every 2 days if I do not have the time to do it that day.

I love my fish..but I can not afford to just drop 40 bucks on a new heater for my little ten gallon tank... if I did that and my husband found out I would be up the creek! He would say "you spent 40 bucks to save a 2 dollar fish?!!"

I have been struggling with what I thought was ich for the last month. I have tried everything. I tried raising the heat and the max I can get it is 80*.. I have tried salt.. rid-ich... super ick cure and now we are on to quick cure. I have maintained a rigorous vacuum and water change...

didn't plan on it.. I have a giant tub of API aquarium salt.. I mentioned it in my original post.

Nope just plastic plants.. I can barely keep aloe plants alive so I haven't jumped that boat yet.. maybe eventually. How much salt should I add to my 10 gal?

Ya I think I am going to go get a fluval heater for a 15 gallon.. i have to look at them though because i am not sure how many heaters have it set to not go above 80*.. best of luck to you in the ICH battle.
