I bought 3 goldfish at Petco 13 days ago and all three looked healthy. I went around to all of the LFS and none of them carried goldfish, the closest thing they carried was koi and those are pond fish. Well, around a week ago I noticed white dots on my goldfishes and when I had bought them there was no signs of any white dots. I went out and bought some ich away medication and I am following what the directions say, add 2 tsp. (20 gallons) every 3 days and after you add the 2 tsp, do a 50% water change. It said to do the process three times, I have to change 50% of the water tomorrow and that will make it the third time and the ich still hasn't cleared up and one of my goldfish recently died today and that goldfish barely had any ich but I thought I saw some around and inside it's gills. Is there anything else I can do to get rid of the ich? The temp. is around 75 degrees right now and because goldfish are coldwater fish I don't think I would be able to put a heater in, also, the only kind of heater I have is a 25 or 50 watt.
Doing 50% water changes is also hard because I'm very busy during the day.
