So my tank was set up on the 6th, had fish added the 13th (see other threads, big 155 gallons, planted, tests show only trace amounts of ammonia and nitrites) and I watered seeing ich on the 18th. I called the couple that helped me and they said that the fish could have already been infected at the wholesaler and if not that the stress of moving to the new tank could have played a part. At first, it was all 4 millennial rainbowfish but now others are infected too, although by no means all of the fish.
We started a treatment of medicated fish food on the 19, last Wed evening. Within a few days a thought it was clearing off a couple of the millennials but looking this morning either it returned or I was mistaken.
Has anyone used Metronidazole medicated fish food to treat ich? If so how long did it take? I don't like the idea of second guessing these two, they have been hobbyists and run their store for over 20 years, so not a min wage LFS employee, but I would also like other opinions.
