Hey ,
Gotta outbreak of Ich starting in my 37 gal.? Only added snails and crabs lately, not sure if my month old Flame brought it in, but I have white spots on my Flame, and a Cardinal and a chromis.
I have read my eyeballs out and believe I have the best method for me to treat. I am prepared to do the hyposalinity treatment and went to the LFS to get a batch of SW to do the water fill my QT ( 1/2 old tank water ,1/2 new water) . The fish store tells me that a cleaner shrimp will take care of the couple fish showing signs, I have read some info saying this is not true. Not much info using search button on cleaner shrimps and their function, is this a possibility? The fish are behaving mostly normal , Flame is flashing a bit.
Q: Will cleaner shrimp do any good at this point?
Q: can I use good city tap water to fill QT and do my daily PWC's, RO is so difficult to haul back and forth to do that many PWC's?
Q: leave cycled LR piece in QT to control amonia?, I have a small sponge in main tank to move over to QT so will that be enough?
Thanks ,
