Hello, I treated my goldfish tank first with high temps and salt. But my LPS recommended if I didn't see improvement after 3 days (I waited 5) to use Super Ich Cure - malachite green and remove the filter cartridges. The directions say basically to treat, wait 48 hrs then treat again. 48 hours after that do a 25% water change. But that's it.
I would think I should vacuum the gravel. Do a larger water change and reinstall the filters (although I threw mine away for fear of contamination)
I had also removed all the decorations, scrubbed them with really hot water and let them air dry for about a week now.
My questions are: should I stick with the package directions?
Or clean the gravel and do a large water change? There is no signs of ich and I had planned on keeping the temp high for another week.
Should I assume that since I used medication that the ich gone?
What is your method after an ich outbreak?
