Okay, Guys (and Gals)...I Need Some Immediate Information on What to do Here...
Alright.
This situation with my 60-gallon goldfish tank is getting out of hand now, through all the mistakes I have been making and all the conflicting advice I am getting from all different sides; can someone perhaps walk me through what I need to do AT THIS POINT in time, based on what I am going to explain below, please?
Okay. So I am currently in the middle of treating for Ich with Kordon Rid-Ich (one of my fancytails exhibited signs of the disease a few days ago). I am on the second day of treatment, giving SIX teaspoons a day based on the directions of the bottle and my water load, and the bottle is almost empty and the stuff turns my water blue.
Outside of that, I have also been treating the water with Stability but I started this BEFORE the fish came down with Ich -- so I don't know if I should continue this or not. I have also added aquarium salt, 30 teaspoons for my tank, based on instructions, but my main concern now is what to do with the Ich medicine and the Stability and how it all comes together with my water changes...
Can someone tell me what I need to do now? Should I keep using the Stability WHILE I'm treating for Ich? As I said, I am on the second straight day of treating the Ich, and Stability I have three or so days left to go, to make it the recommended week. Should I stop stability altogether?
What about water changes -- I have not done any since the Ich appeared; how much water should I change at this point, and how do I medicate/give Stability through the changes?
If anyone could help in the simplest terms possible, I would greatly appreciate it...
