Treating Ich

[ferrikins]

well I spotted the dreaded little wight spots today.

I have a very good idea why the fish have it, acerdentle over feed one night last week, been unwell so no water change, ect ect ect.

Anyway nealy back on form now, and I have my Salt, I always have some just in case, and about to raise the temp. Problem is the cory cats, Pl*co and shrimp.

Will the salt harm them??

I would move them to the fry tank, but catching them is a near inposable.

What would you suggest??

I suggest no salt and ich meds.

Me too. IMO salt is only really effective when used in conjunction with medication and it cannot be used with many fish and actually most freshwater fish come from areas with no measureable salt content.

Putting the temp up is good and then try using Interpet Anti-Whitespot plus. I'd really recommend that medication, I have used it a few times.
