Ismart120 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Hi I've got a potential ich issue (seeing some flashing but no external signs, everyone seems to be happy and normal otherwise) so looking to add some salt and raise the temp for a fortnight just in case, without out using random medications as such I've got a fire eel, black ghost, angelicus loaches and a pictus, all of which I think come under the scaleless title; has any one treated these fish with salt and higher temps before? Good? Bad? Looking to do a teaspoon every 40 litres or so (approx one every 10 gallons) and raise the temp slowly up to ~30 degrees from the 26 it is now. Conversely, would dosing with salt for a longer period of time and raising the temp say to 28 be a better option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I kept temp the same, dosed white spot cure/tonic, removed carbon and did the epsom salts. Ich gone within a few days. This was with pictus. But should apply for all yours too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ismart120 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Do you remember which cure/tonic you used? I know some are to be avoided with scaleless fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
