Ick Is Coming Back

[sunpirate2u]

I just got 5 guppies yesterday. Well, to day I saw two of the guppies inching on one of the tank rocks. Now im really concerned that they r gonna get ick (again ). R they??? What should I do?

should always quarentine any new fish for atleast 2 weeks before adding to main tank with other m8's.

You need to treat the tank for ick again, wouldn't hurt to raise the temperature, unless its already real high.

Do u think my tank already has ick or did they give it to me?

Ok ill try some ick treatment. The thing is I have some baby guppies on the way , and now im not sure if it's safe to treat it be4 they're born. Fry r really sensitive.

hmmm, not sure what would happen to them, perhaps you should post under the livebearer section of fishforums. Just hold off on the treatment then, unless you see definite signs of ick.

If you haven't yet, I highly suggest you read through this page: http/www.skepticalaquarist.com/docs/health/ich.shtml

It is bar none, the best collection of ich information on the web today. It explains why you have to continue to treat long after all visible symptoms or gone -- or ich has a very good chance of coming back (that may explain why it is coming back for you).
