Wining battle with ich, now what

[machotaco]

Jut had my second run in with ich, yay.... . I decided to do better this time and was very meticulous and have not seen a spot after 4 day of just heat. But now what? One cory (out of 6) still has a clamped fin and the rainbowfish are breathing pretty heavily (due to the low oxygenated water) how long should I wait to decrease the temperature again? Thanks

It's generally a safe bet to wait for 2 weeks after the last sign of ich goes away before returning the temperature back to normal.

I agree better safe than sorry. Did you add any air stones? If no do so considering the O2 levels decrease due to the high temps.

I'll add my air stone right now.

Great! See if that works. I had to crank my bubble wand up all the way with added control valve.
