So, I’ve done some dumb things, I’ll get that out of the way right now. I have no hospital/quarantine tank. Yes, I am inexperienced.
I first got my betta a week ago, and didn’t quarantine him. About 10:30pm, I noticed he had ich. It could have been because he was stressed out because he was still sorta new, or the new anubias nana plant I put in. I didn’t think much about it initially because I thought it might just be some of my white sand, but that wasn’t the case.
I raised the temperature in my tank to 84 and added some aquarium salt. I don’t have any ich medicine, not that it would be very effective since I have carbon media in.
I checked the tank just now (Almost 2:30am) and my betta is much worse. He had maybe 5 white spots in a centralized area before, but now they’re all over his body. He hasn’t moved from his spot in over an hour. The immense progression of ich in just in hour is seriously freaking me out. I have other fish in the tank too.
I’m seriously worried and this anxiety is killing me. Money is tight right now because my workplace is temporarily closed.
10:30pm vs. 2:20am ich progress
