Aquarium Advice Activist
I have had my aquarium set up for about nine years now, please see my pics. My daughter wanted some more fish last week and they wound up getting a pair of Angels. I already had one large Angel along with the Australians, so I told my wife to go ahead and get them. I was out of town on a business trip.
When I got home, I noticed that the two new Angels had ich. I immediately treated the tank with some medicine I always had kept, just in case. Unfortunately it was not the cure. Within a day, all of the fish had the ich. One of the new guys, bit the dust pretty quick. My large Angel bit the dust last night( after it was apparent she wasn't going to make it I put her in the bag and did the deep freeze trick).
After two major water changes and raising the temp (in the process) I will probably lose the last Angel. The Australians seem to be hanging in there, although they still have some ich on them.
I thought I would bring this subject up, due to the fact I never feel great to go and get new fish from any fish store. I should have told my daughter to wait, but I was out of pocket and thought everything would be alright.
My tank is difficult to raise the temperature at a quick rate. 150 gallons plus the 35 gallons in the sump is hard to overcome.
Buyer beware!
These are the only fish I ever lost to any disease.
