Aquarium Advice Addict
No I'm not running carbon with the medication and I raised my temp to 82 hoping to at least slow down the growth of the parasite but it doesn't seem to be working I guess. I only see glancing and itching from the dwarf gourami and it's minimal. I think the medicine kinda killed off most of it but they keep sticking towards the gourami since he's always towards the floor of the tank. I do my normal water change weekly 20-30% so I don't have another ammonia spike that caused this.
Raising the temp doesn't slow the cycle but actually speed it up. This is actually better for the process but the temp should be brought up to 86° for best results. Here's an article to help you better understand the life cycle and get the fish turned around. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/freshwater-ich-yuck/
