I've had a tank for 5 months without a single fish problem arising until i bought some ottos 2 weeks ago that came with ich. I'll note all incidents since the following day after introducing the otos that i noticed the ich... Day 2 - Raised tank temperature to 28 degrees Day 3 - Began daily medication of Ich Guard 2 (for scaleless fish) Day 5 - Otos recover and show no sign of ich / Rams begin displaying 1-3 cysts each Day 10 - Ich Guard 2 ran out so i switched over to ParaGuard by Seachem (started at 1/3 daily dosage) Day 11 - One ram is infected with pop eye (single eye - secondary infection from ich) Day 14 - Ich spots have been steadily increasing on the rams to 5-15 cysts each. Popeye is getting fairly sever and it looks like the second eye is beginning to protrude... Local fish store said not to mix medications so i took their advice and am only medicating with Paraguard and alternating 8/16% water changes every day. I cannot add salt due to the sensitivity of the scaleless fish. Are there any other methods you guys recommend for the popeye? I hate seeing my fish suffering from it and was thinking of medicating him on his own or doing a salt bath? Any advice is appreciated!
