Quite common some times you have to do two rounds.

there were two discussions yesterday about treating clown laoches with ich. They might be helpful.

my temp is currently at 28 when i add more treatment is it ok to put it up to 30?

 

[tttnjfttt]

It should be. Just do so very slowly, add an air stone to help with oxygen, and also watch the fish for stress.

30 is the equivlent of 86, which I know can be pushing the limit.

Are the loaches in the tank in your sig?

 

[laurasmithuk]

yeah they r,

Then you're VERY overstocked, which is probably a contributing factor to them getting it in the first place.

 

[laurasmithuk]

i was told it was ok to be overstocked as long as i do very regular water changes and keep up with the high maintainance!

Hi Laura,
You should do water changes every day for a good week (maybe more) after symptoms subside, especially with that many fish.
good lcuk

i have come to the conclusion i am gonna re-home all fish with LFS and see if i can get credit for them. i will start all over again.
