So I think I messed up! My tank had been up for years 90 gallons, I noticed two weeks ago the water temp had dropped to low 70’s so I assumed one of my heaters broke. It is also winter, but this one heater has not had strong output for a while and barley comes on. So I replaced it, a week later...

Your fish looks very pregnant to me.

Is there a medication you’d recommend? I may need to switch at some point if this doesn’t get the job done.

Just finished todays water change, gravel vac and added the medication. The photo to the left is the tank before added medication. The photo to the left is with 8.5 teaspoons of Ich X as this this a 90 gallon tank. (No the fish are not all hanging out at the top due to being stressed, I simply...

That was a current picture of day 5. I’ll take a picture tonight right after I dose it and time how long the water stays blue, I know it’s not long, perhaps about 20 minutes maybe. And you can see through it pretty easily. Ich X which is what I’m using says to treat at least every 24 hours but...

Update: day 9 of treatment 8 doses have been given so far still needing to do todays. I was hopeful that I was on the winning side around day 5 but unfortunately more spots have appeared on several other fish now. I would say the good news perhaps is it’s less spots collectively throughout the...

I’m battling Ich currently! I’d recommend medicating your fish with Ich X it’s doing wonders! Here is a before and after of my sick fish 5 days into treatments. You should treat the entire tank!

Update!! Today is day 5 of medication and the turn around my own rainbow fish has made is truly remarkable! Nearly every spot is gone now! Picture below! I haven’t lost any fish yet either!! These daily water changes and daily gravel vacs are exhausting but my fish are worth it!! I have only...

Perfect! Thank you thank you! Don’t know where I’d be without such a helpful society of fish lovers! ♥️

Thanks again to all! I was able to purchase Ich X this morning at my LFS. He also informed him his rainbow fish came to him with ich and he thought he had treated it but apparently I would assume due to adding a new rainbow fish and now suddenly having ich he was not done treating his fish...

Make sense! Thank you for your help!! As a rainbow fish keeper do you have any advice on a preferred method!? I feel so torn about which route to go! Thanks for your time and advice. I think being caught off guard and ich and worried about my fish I also missed that the heat could be raised...

I agree. So am I understanding that you too agree I should both raise temps and medicate at the same time?

Are you asking if I will raise heat and add meds? Yes at this point I plant to do both, despite conflicting online information it appears both can and should be used together. Also, do you think it’s ok to add the one fully covered fish back to the main tank seeing as the entire tank needs...

I have a Fluval FX6 do you think if I pull the output out of the water and allow it to dump into the tank that that will be enough added oxygen from the water disturbance? It’s sucks upon initial look at the fish I thought only one other had maybe one or two spots but swear right before my eyes...

I have one line tiger Barb left and 6 roses barbs.

I’m going to go to my LFS tomorrow to see if they carry the medication on hand so I can maybe start treatment tomorrow. But went ahead and ordered it online just in case they don’t. When you say “use a torch” what are you talking about? Thanks

Thank you so much for the needed information! I have watched the video closely and ordered some medications but they will take two days to get here :/ It’s not that I’m hesitant to use medications more that I just wasn’t sure what would be the best route for the fish I have. I’ve read so many...

Any advice welcome, I believe I’m battling Ich in my 90 gallon planted tank. I’ve had this tank up for over two years now. I have close to 30 fish a mix of Rainbows, Tetras, and Barbs and two fiddler crabs currently in this tank. Today I noticed one of my rainbows covered head to toe in white...

Thank you!

Yeah that’s what I was concerned about shocking them... so I haven’t but I sure do feel bad that their currently in such cold water. Boo. Rookie mistake!
