I have an outbreak of ich in my 60 gallon planted.
I first noticed it on my neon tetras and upon closer inspection see it on my cherry barbs also. First saw it Sunday night. Started treating with Kordon ich attack yesterday as I have botia kubotai loaches. My loaches prevent me from doing anything stronger, but I have read plus I spoke to Kordon that if one heats the water up to 82 and treats up to eight weeks with Kordon then it will eradicate the ich. Anyone else have any experiences with it good, bad or otherwise?
The only things done differently is I added an AC70 to complement my AC110 and I added some guppies and two more red wag platies. They were quarantined, but not for a full two weeks. I do a pwc of 30%to50% every Friday. I feed omega one super color color flakes, mysis shrimp flakes on occasion, algae wafers every two or three days and every Tuesday night I give them some tubifex worms as a snack.
15 neon tetras
13 cherry barbs
10 guppies
4 otocinclus
4 red wag platies
3 kubotai botia aka Angelicus Botia aka polka dot loach
1 Dwarf Gourami.
I am raising the heat and added just a few tablespoons of salt and treating 200% dosage with kordon ich attack (100% dosage twice daily) as it says it is safe to do 300% dosage daily. How high is safe to raise the heat for my loaches?
