Ich Attack

[drango91]

ok my 2 new fish have contracted ick, i have used the cure called "quICK cure" but its not working properly after i follow the instructions, i have raised the tempurature to about 84-85 degrees fereheight(spelling is bad) but the spots dont go away, the medecine says 2 day cure im on day4 now it only getting worse, ive turned up the temp today maybe the spots will fall off

Carry on with the med, or get a different brand, sometimes it can take two courses to clear it up, and it also can get worse before better, good luck.

the problem is im flat out of money and im running low on treatment

 

[WILDER]

It's not that expensive, well you will need it or they will die, sorry.

my swordtail is acting wierd now, maybe because of the rising temp? shes also progressively pregnant, shes hanging out at the top of the tank perhaps shes ready to release some fry?

 

[WILDER]

You have increase aeration as the med and temp will reduce 02 in the water.

 

[drango91]

so whats happening? would you like me to take a pic of whats happening or better yet a video?

 

[WILDER]

Check your water stats, do you have enough aeration in the tank, plus is she laboured breathing and gasping.

now shes sorta opening and closing her mouth laying twards the bottom i got that feeling that shes gonna shoot out some fry

 

[WILDER]

Do her eyes look ok to you, hard to say as she moves to fast.

 

[drango91]

yeah sometimes, she tries to eat the bubbles at the top of the tank like shes hungry but i fed her alot yesterday maybe 7 bloodworms and a little bit of pellets

 

[WILDER]

Yeah sometimes, what do you mean yes her eyes look odd do you mean, are the bulging out even if it's only one of them.

 

[drango91]

they sorta bulge but yeah they look to me, shes chasing away my platy from the corner area
