I need the help from the PROS.... Pls HELP:
I just notice a few early spots of ich on two of my oscars, I think I got it from a candy stripe pleco I bought at a LFS just recently.
I have a 5 week old 75 gal. w/ 2 tiger oscars (2.5 "), 1 jack dempsey (2"), 2 convicts (2"), bushnose pleco (3-3.5"), and a candystripe pleco (1.5").
-The tiger oscars are the ones that have the ich at the moment.
STATS on tank::
PH-6.6-6.7
Ammonia-0.5 ppm
N-rite-10 ppm
N-rate-0 ppm
Temp- now up to 80, i had it around 76-77 but since the ich I've been raising it 1 degree ea 12 hrs.
-Will all the fish be able to tolerate the 87 degree temps for a week or so???
-Should I start to add salt to my tank?? If so what kind of salt and how much??
The last water change (40%) was like 3 or 4 days ago, but I didnt notice the ich till 2 days ago.
Leme kno if I am doing everything I can, I was considering ich medication, but I would like to first try to naturally get rid of this disease.
Thank you for your help,
