Help!! 10G ich infection. :(

[aramirezo91]

Hey guys!!

I've had 5G betta tanks for years now, but this is my first community tank. I love fish and animals in general, and since my dad used to be a breeder I've always had great interest in them. But I always seem to have bad luck with my fish tanks.

I moved to another country and finally managed to buy a 10G from craigslist for only $20, including fish, (terrible combination), filter and submersible heater. Water is constantly at 78 degrees.

10 Gallons
1 Flame Gourami
1 Wild Blue Ram
3 Neon Tetras
2 Panda Cories
4 Diamond Tetras (glow fish)

I just noticed a week later a few ich spots on some fish.

Any advice regarding my stocking issue or ich outbreak? :face palm:

Just did 25% water change, adding new water in slowly with ich guard and removed carbon filter insert.

Cant wait to meet you all!

Hello,


Welcome to the forum


Sounds like your well advanced down the meds road. How are the fish going? I'm assuming that's a malachite green / formalin treatment (?), in which case increasing aeration can also be handy during treatment to maintain oxygen levels.
