bosshog Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Have a look in the fish emergencies section. You should be able to find a cure that will not cost anymore than a little uniodized salt and a temp increase in the tank. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwirky Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you have money, you can use 1 tablespoon of "kosher" salt (sold at the grocery store), or sea salt (sold at the aquarium store) for every 2 gallons of water. If you don't have any $$, you could increase your tank's temperature 1 degree every 6 hours until it's at 82-83F. That'll cause the ich's lifecycle to speed up and they'll be cured of it quicker if their immune system is good. That will cause the fish's metabolism to increase and they'll go through the ich faster. I'd also recommend taking a sample of your water to the local fish store (big al's maybe). If your water parameters are out of whack, they'd be able to tell you, so the same thing doesn't happen again due to fish stress. Good luck Well one fish doesnt have ich anymore... it jump out of the tank :cry: ive had 2 bleeding heart tetras for over a year now and just now it jumps out.
