Ok so it sounds like you are both agreeing to use heat not meds, how long should I wait to see improvement? its been a week and they still have ich spots if not more. Ill try to raise the temp more if my heater can go any hotter

Ich has gotten on all the tiger barbs now, temps still between 84-86F should I use salt or medicine at this point or carry on and see if it gets worse?

I was previously unaware of that :)

Currently Im in the middle of a fish in cycle, NO3-0, NO2-0, GH-0, KH-40, PH-7.2, I dont have a way to test the ammonia, unfortunately API kits are not available where I live, I will have to order them in.

Haha thanks for your response, the barbs appear to be very aware of the beta and avoiding getting near him, he chased everyone around the first day including the crayfish, but has since ignored them all.

Hello, I have a 20gallon tank, plastic plants, a skull cave, floating beta log hide, aquean filter 150gph I think, and a long air stone. Currently I have one male beta, one crayfish with one pincher* I chose him for his hopefully lacking hunting skills, 6 tiger barbs very small. I recently had...

I only did two degrees a day, what is the normal time for adjustment? he was best the very last day but by night he was listless and dead in the morning.

Follow up The tank has been at 82-84F for a few days, the cory did seem to rally but died, he had no ich spots on him anymore so Im not sure what killed him, too much stress I assume. Two tiger barbs now have ich spots though, so its spread instead of going away. I raised the temp again today...

I guess my question was how much salt and how hot can I make it with the fish I have, will any of the fish or cray fish have problems with salt or heat? I think its a Aqueon Quietflow 20 125GPH, I also have a bubble stone bar going.

Alright, again unforntatly the only "pet store" on this island sold me a pleco that looked fine but immediatly got ich, or a fuzziness to him that quickly rotten his fins off...within 2 days he went from fine at the store to dead at my home. Im now afraid my other fish will get ich, if that is...
