And back for a second round, is ich

[lizard]

I finally got rid of the ich that stuck around for a month and a half. It's been gone for two or three weeks. I looked at my fish today, before I went to work, and what to I see but ich spots on my Neons <sigh> I looked at 'em more a bit ago, and the spots are still there (I was hoping that maybe they just had sand on 'em or something earlier...). They're even on the Rams. I just turned up the heater and will start putting the temp up to 86* or 88*. I think I'll put the heater from the 10-gallon in there, too, to help keep the temp steady at 86* or 88*.

I don't know where the ich came from this time. Nothing new has been added for a couple weeks. Temp has been fairly steady. What a pain...

Other than that, things are will with my fish. It's time to do another water change, but I can't soak one of my hands in water (sliced it open doing dishes the other morning) so am going to have to improvise or wait.

Just venting/sharing. Thanks for reading

Lizard - When you treat this time try treating for 2 to 3 weeks after the Ich has dissappeared. I know ich can remain dormant for a long time on the bottom of the tank.
