Yes - I knew this was going to happen after it was too late! I was not patient and chose to purchase black and regular neons at Petco a couple of days ago even though the saltwater and goldfish tanks had ich! I should've known better...and I'm truly kicking myself in the butt right now!
The black neons have got some ich on them and my dwarf gourami looks like its beginning to break out a little also.
Are they doomed? What should we do? I saw a couple things about raising the temp and adding salt? What about the medicine they've got at the store? Should I change my filter cartridges or take out the carbon? Will the shrimp and snail get it too?? Kinda freakin out here so any help is appreciated.
29 gal tank with AC 50 (with biomax, carbon, & sponge) with an average temp of 77...
ph remains acidic at 6.5, alkalinity is very low, water is soft, nitrites are 0 and nitrates are around 15 - says my test strips...yes I do realize I need a master kit...
Gouramis, tetras, bristlenose pleco, bamboo shrimp & snail.
Thanks fish friends!
