ich

So. I did a stupid thing and introduced ich via neon tetras into my established 30 gallon tank. All 10 tetras died the day after I got them and I noticed the disease then. I also lost a pleco yesterday. I've been treating the tank with a store bought medicine called API Super Ich Cure. It said...

Hi all, I have a common comet goldfish that my sister brought home from a fair who is about a year old. He grew up in my 20 gallon and then moved to my dad's 60 about ten months ago, and he has been doing fine. However I noticed he is kind of less energetic lately, and I think he has ich. His...

Hey guys! I'm new here. I've had my guy for a few months now, have him in a 5 gallon. Since moving him from a 2.5 gal to his 5 gal tank he has grown significantly. When I first got him I noticed he had a few scales that were a bit brighter than the others. I thought it could be ich, but he...

so Ive had these tetras for little while now and and I ended up getting ich in the tank some how but i have it almost completely beat but I noticed one of the tetras has what appears to be scars (if that’s even possible for fish) all along it’s body it they kinda look like little cloudy spots on...

Hello everyone!! I've had my aquarium running with three ember tetras, three neon tetras and a female betta for a month with no issues. Now I've found that the ember have white spots in their bodies. Is it ich? How should I treat it? It was hard to take a picture, hope it helps.

Hello, I'm new to the forum! I've got a Blood-red Parrot Cichlid that my family has noticed has been acting strange the past 2 days. He was erratically swimming (spinning around, rubbing on the ground or tank walls) every now and again and he seems to eat normally. And today I finally decided to...

Aloha, I think some of my fish have Ich. Can any of you confirm? A picture can be found here: http://bit.ly/2LxiXtk Thank you

I need a few opinions and some advice! I have two loaches (Nimrod who, despite his name, is very loved and probably my favorite, and Priz). I had them for about three weeks in my planted tank when I noticed white spots form on their fins and sides. Originally I thought it was Ich (even as a...

I just noticed that the ram cichlid that I bought Saturday has ICH. What should I do? How do I treat the fish? How do I treat the tank? I am not able to purchase any medicine today... I have taken the Ram out of the tank and put it in some dechlorinated water with 4 tablespoons of devolved...

Hi all, I’m new here, so please be gentle. I have a 105l tank (27.74 us gallons) & 2 fancy goldfish (1 oranda & 1 shubunkin) and a small Bristlenose Pleco. It’s looking like my goldies have ich. I’ve been reading up about treatments & am slowly increasing the tank temp from 23C (73.4F) which is...

Hi, thank you in advance for your help! So I saw these white spots on my balloon Molly fish and I quarantined them. Then I looked up ich and it doesn’t look like ich at all and when I looked up other Molly pics, they looked like they all have the same white spots. Just want to make sure this...

I thought it was ich; have been treating for 5 days at 85 degrees, water changes (not much); two of my fish have had the spots with no changes; from what I read about the ich life cycle I thought these spots would have gone away as they drop into the water but they are still there. Could it be...

I bought imagitarium parasite remedy to control ick and it says to dose every other day for 3 doses. It's been three doses and I dont know if it's safe to dose more than what it says. Dont get me wrong but most of the ick is gone but it's still there and I also raised the temp to 80f because...

Hi, Still pretty new to the hobby with a 10gal freshwater tank. We noticed today that our tetra was showing small signs of possible ICH. We went ahead and got a two quarantine tanks to be safe. One to treat the tetra and the other to house the rest of the fish while our display tank heats up to...

Hello fish friends, I'm new to the whole aquarium thing so I need some advice/help please. I started off with just a comet goldfish in one of those little Betta tanks with a filter. Five weeks later that tank begins to leak so I took it in and they gave me store credit and they didn't have...

Please help us figure out what is wrong with our sick betta fish, Indigo! We have had him for 10 months and recently he has been acting very strange. He lays at the bottom of his 2.5 gallons filtered and heated tank and doesn’t move. We thought he was dead but his gills are moving, and when you...

Hi everyone, I have a female swordtail who was a bit stressed in our community tank (we have two male swordtails and one female), so I moved her so a small planted tank on her own. She immediately seemed happier there, but came down with a case of ich, though there were only a few spots. I'm...

Hello! I didn't post this in emergencies because I know what this is, and it's not lethal at this stage. So yesterday I noticed some strange behavior in my new betta. He was dashing around, scraping against things, crashing into my heater... then I got out my flashlight and looked at him. He...
