My 7 year olds tank (2-weeks old) has finally been completely wiped out. Honestly I think the bags of fish were not at the proper temp before I released them into the tank. I did let the fish tank run for 24 hours prior to purchasing fish (added the water treatment too).
I was treating with that dreadful blue stuff, all looked well after 4 days so I stopped treatment. 3-days ago I restarted treating, and now I am fishless.
What do I do at this point? I have read that increased temps will generally kill the ICK. I could crank the water up to 90 and continue to treat for 2 more days. Any suggestions on when I could repurchase fish?
We had neon, platies and the like; nothing real fancy.
Thanks,
Chuck S
