Will hypo kill the ich or not? I have heard that it will not. If it wont what is the point on using this method of treatment?
am currently doing this now, too, along with raising my temp to 86 or 87 degrees.
C. irritans actually does best at temps around 86 degrees F.
It's not. While it may speed up the life cycle of the parasite it does nothing to kill it. Increased temps adversely affect the fish reducing it's immune response. It can leave an otherwise already unhealthy fish defenseless against a miriad of baterial and secondary infections.Phyl said:Not sure that's the best course of action for the fish though.
