Aquarium Advice Freak
Argh!! I leave for a 6 day vacation tomorrow morning and today I noticed one of my Cardinal Tetras appears to have contracted Ich. He has two spots on his tail fin and one on his dorsal fin. No change in behavior that I can tell yet.
Any advice on what I can do in the short term? Should I leave the lights off the whole time I'm gone? Should I raise the temp a bit? It's at 77-78 right now. I just hope I don't come back to everyone covered in spots. I did a 30% water change today and added a little aquarium salt as I usually do, but not nearly the suggested amount to treat Ich. It's a 29 Gallon.
I don't understand how this happened. It's been almost 3 weeks since I've added new fish or plants to this tank.
