a couple water changes ago in my 29 gallon tank, I forgot to turn the heater back on after water change... I believe that may be the cause of an ich outbreak starting several days ago. I caught it early ... just noticed a couple of tiger barbs not swimming right and not eating...then noticed the white dots on a coup[le of them...other fish seemed fine
gradually raised the temperature of tank to 84 degrees using a second 200 watt heater....then added 30 drops of malachite green. added the 30 drops of meds each day for 3 days and followed this with a 50% water change and thorough substrate cleaning...started another 3 day regiment..added 30 drops yesterday and today
Fish are starting to swim normally again and eating and most of the white sand like white spots are much fewer. No fish loss so far.
How long should I continue this regimen...meds..then in 3 days do a wc with substrate vac...
