Ich
« on: October 10, 2011, 10:50:40 AM »
I believe i just discovered the small begining stages of Ich in my 90 gallon. :( :( So i began to treat with some aquarium salt, and ich cure i have here. Im planning a water change for tomorrow. I beat it in a 10 gallon with my Jack Dempsey's. Any more suggestions would be helpful. And maybe some luck...

The few times I've experienced it I've always used Nox Ich. The stuff is pretty potent, so be sure to read the label and only use as directed. It'll also stain some soft plastics - silicone, airline hose, etc (but never stained my plants). Makes it a nice green color that I can't say I really mind.

Me too, it would be way to costly to replace the fish i have in that tank if it got out of control..
