10 gallon aquarium. 2 glo-fish, 3 serpae tetras, 4 neon tetras, 1 clown pleco, 1 mystery snail.
Tank cycled.
Got Ick 8 days ago. Noticed white spots on 1 serpae tetra (all over) and a couple white spots on two neon tetras (on fins only). Clown pleco appears to have it also.
Removed snail and began treatment 8 days ago using Kordon Rid-Ick Plus. Gradually increase tank temperature to 85 degrees over next two days. Been treating with Rid-Ick daily with 5 ml per 10 gallons as indicated on bottle. Also been doing daily water changes of 20%-25% (syphoning from bottom of tank and getting the rocks).
It got a little better after day three. Only one speck on one neon tetra and reduced specks on serpae tetra. Clown pleco looked no different. But no difference after that.
Today (day 8), and the serpae tetra is back to having way more specks and all neon tetras have specks again. Clown pleco is dead! Fear that other fish may have fed on dead pleco.
What now?
