There's a whole thread about this, Tokis. PCams's tank is undergoing the cycle and the ich outbreak is largely due to the poor water quality. Since meds will completely interrupt the cycle and further impair water quality, (I think) they should be avoided. Salt will kill off the whitespot while allowing the tank to continue cycling. Many people have reported excellent results using the salt&heat treatment, so meds are not essential for curing an ich outbreak.Tokis-Phoenix said:Don't use the salt; go out and buy some proper whitespot med from your lfs as otherwise you are unlikely to get rid of it and the salt will damage the neons.
Salt/heat is a common and very effective way to cure ick. Its much less stressful on your fish as well, plus it doesn't add chemicals into your tank.Don't use the salt; go out and buy some proper whitespot med from your lfs as otherwise you are unlikely to get rid of it and the salt will damage the neons.
And we a ll believe everything we read to be true.Check this link out- it specifically says not to use salt with neons;
