Cool! Iv noticed that most of the fist have cleared up a bit, but one still has it..ALL OVER. its amazing how qhickly it can come! 3 days and boom

 

[abrahamavelar]

Just remember if u do the mrds try to keep at it for a 3 days to a week after the spots r gone from the fish to make sure the ich its completly gone n then do a 50% pwc

Awesome! Question, does the temp at 86 kill the ich, or just cause it to go away for the time being??

 

[abrahamavelar]

Well I heard both also I know it speeds it up but I heard that 87 kills it but stresses the fish alot

 

[Gboy66]

Hmm ya i dont wanna do that...

 

[abrahamavelar]

My fish were perfectly fine at 88 for 12 days. I have neons, black neon tetra's, dwarf gourami, angels, cory's. Everybody was fine and the ich is completely gone.

Nice! But do you think 86 will be enough?

 

[Reygan2]

Yes. I just don't want you to worry. Most fish are very tolerant of high temps, just make sure you have plenty of surface agitation and air circulation. Good luck! It's worth the wait...and better than using meds IMO
(when treatment is finished, I would lower the temp really slow)

 

[Gboy66]

Awesome thank you! I can already see the ich dissapearing!!

 

[Reygan2]

BTW..You have such a great attitude. It's been my pleasure to chat with you

 

[Gboy66]
