Currently I am medicating and raising temps. This may change.

I noticed that the black neon tetra is recommend at temps up to 77 and the red eye tetra at 82. So I assume I should go back to 77 slowly before the black neons die? Then it will just take a little longer to kill the ICH with salt and temps? or stick to meds. BAH. I guess either way a water change is in order
 
the neon will survive temps above 77 for a couple weeks while you kill the ich. i wouldn't go above 82 AND use meds at the same time though unless you have some really good aireation happening in there though. 82 with meds or at least 86 without meds
