Please log in for more thread options I just noticed that one of my clown loaches is covered with ich. I have
never dealt with this before. He is in a tank with regular and green tiger
barbs, a bala shark, khuli loaches, skirt tetras, and a pl*co. The temp is
at 81 degrees. What do I do? Please help, these are my favorite fishies.
Thanks.
Sarah

The only thing I'd use is that stuff made by Jungle. You can get it in Wal MArt.
Everything else I try either doesn't kill the ick or kills the fish or plants or
both.
Just dump the Jungle stuff in your tank, discontinue the any carbon
filtration if you have it and relax. You're done.
If you use a heater and your fish can handle it raise the temperature 4 degrees,
but this is not important. It just makes the cure 6 days insetad of 7. Big deal.
Yours at 80 is ok where it is.
There are two non-medicinal treatments too. You can put a diatom filter on the
tank
and it will fitler Ick out. Or put the fish in a a small bare tank and change
100% of the water twice a day. Two weeks and they're cured. There's an article by
DIana Walstead about this - natural ick cure for a natural tank or something, in
this months TFH.

Please log in for more thread options I have some of that on hand. I guess I will use the half dose for the
loaches as the package states. I hope it works.
