Ok in my 90 gallon I currently have 4 pictus catfish (3 now), a lima shovelnose cat, an african frog, and a gold striped knifefish (ghost).
I started treatment with Nox-Ich 2 days ago, and thought everything was going to be ok, but today I noticed 1 pictus dead, and the other 3 laying still breathing heavily, all 3 covered with ich. The knife has noticible ich, but seems to be doing ok. Shovel seems ok, no signs (shedding might have something to do with this???). I don't even know if the frog can get ich (he is fine). With the pictus on the edge of death, I realize i need to do more. Beginning now I am going to raise the temperature to 86 (1 degree about every 8 hours), and continue to use the medicine.
Is this enough??? Am I doing everything I can??
