[canis_lupus]

my betta has ick and i was told to treat the whole 10 gallon tank with quick cure.....but at the same time my female guppy had babies! tho i only saved 3 cuz i wasn't around and i didn't know she was gonna give birth ! i have a breeding net so i'm gonna put the fry in there (no seperate tanks) but i have 2 treat the tank with quick cure and i don't know if the babies can handle it i've put off treating citrus 4 so long help me (power outage, work, no way 2 get 2 a store)

U could start a salt treatment (1 tablespoon pe 18.9L) first b4 going on other treatments if the salt isn't of any help. Also increase the temperature to around 82-84F slooooowly. HTH!

I REALLY suggest you trying to get to WalMart or somewhere, and finding a separate tank for your fry. From what I understand, they cannot tolerate medicine well. Or, an easier idea might be to separate the betta, into some type of short, wide container, and treat him by himself. As for the babies, they might not get it.. you never know. Just hope for the best!

well my betta was separated already luckly....so my fish tank temp has been quite low i'm hoping the ick hadn't gone into the second phase before i separated her....o and if i get another tank my mom will kill me! she says i already have 2 many well i won't treat the tank.....and just hope 4 the best......i might get another betta tank and just keep her separated 4 ever.....but i'm not sure

Hopefully the ick didn't spread around because then you will might get a whole tank contamination. ALl for the best hope the fry survive. Hope your betta gets better
