I had some fish find new homes, I was getting overstocked. Some went to friends and some went to a school fish tank in Rob's class. Post a picture soon. Female Oscar went to Rob's house. 10 day ick treatment worked in tank#3 and #4. Old Flowerhorn in tank#2 had infection on his body and head, this tank temperature was raised to 86* and salt added. At day 5 the infection is looking better, I will hold the high temp. and salt for five more days then a 50% water change. Holiday break we(Rob and I) will work on his stand, needs to be rewelded, and build a double stand for my 220gal.&180gal. Rob is planning on taking "Big Boy Flowerhorn" home over the break.
Sorry about your ick problem, i just got a lyretail that i though was the healthiest thing in the world....till i found four spots on her. Im using tetra life guard, and trating all the fish in my 10 gal. cause i didnt see it till she was in there for a day=[. any suggestions? thanks, Bri emaIL, pixiebri@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI do a teaspoon of salt for every 10 gal, and a temperature raise to 86* for 10 days.Works on ick and injuries, good luck!
ReplyDeleteAquarium salt! And a 50% water change after the 10 day cycle.
