Hey all so things are not going too well with my planted tank at the moment. All of my fish have just survived a columnaris outbreak with the help of the advice of you guys on here. But now a new problem has arisen and I'm a bit lost as to how I should fix it.
I appear to now have an ich outbreak with most of my rummy-noses having the characteristic "salt grains" all over them. I would try to treat the whole tank with salt or the common medications, but I have three things that would concern me when using them. I have plants, corydoras, AND shrimp in the tank so salt and common medications should be out of the question according to my research.
The only other method I could find to fix this is to raise the temp in tank to 86 degrees (it's at 77 right now) and keep it there for a couple of weeks.
Any advice would GREATLY help. Thanks.
