Quick update for everyone: The hospital tank fish have all returned home to the main tank. We did not suffer a single loss, and everyone is back home, cohabitating ich-free, with colors popping!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to update everyone on the original thread I posted and also share my experience, as I think it’s pretty interesting and worth doing so. First, I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to my thread and helped answer my questions. I really appreciate the insight...

Quick update here for anyone interested: The heat combined with daily water changes has cleared up suspected dots in the main tank on the pleco and I moved the blue ram to the medicated hospital tank. The hospital tank seems to be recovering, and the white spots have been greatly reduced from...

Thanks for the input. I have two sponges in there, one large and one small, as well as a hang on back filter that creates a lot of surface agitation, but do you think I should swap in an air stone instead of Olathe small sponge to generate smaller bubbles?

Quick update everyone: I believe I see a couple tiny white specs on my blue ram, as well as my royal Pleco, so I don’t think I’m completely out of the weeds. I have elected to not treat the main tank with medication at all though. Rather, I am going to raise the temperature to 87° for around...

There’s plecos, Cory cats, a ghost knife, a pink shark, a betta, a blue...

How long should I t How long should I treat the tank then if it appears to be fine?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t inch always present and It’s only able to infect the fish when they get stressed or their immune systems become compromised? And doesn’t it spread rapidly, so if other fish were going to be infected, and it was going to spread through the whole tank, that...

You think that’s true even if nothing else in the tank is showing signs of any issues, and all of my water parameters are great? My nitrates are about 15 ppm but everything else is zeros. Can I wait a day or two to see if anything reveals itself? Or if you were in this situation, would you just...
