Guppygirl Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Why??? :eh: Was the heater unplugged?? Other then maintenace it should never be unplugged. Were you changing water? Hope the ich gets better. How long has it been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FLIP Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I unplugged the heater to change the water and i forgot to plug it back in and i dont remeber how long its been for the ich. My sunset gourami is acting kind of droopy though now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 You need to treat the ich or you will probably loose all your fish. Esepcially now since you just exposed your already sick tank to a temperature drop. Google salt treatment+ich+clown loaches for info on how to treat a tank with salt that has clowns. It is possible you just need to follow the directions for loaches. OR go buy some ICh meds. They are cheap and you can even get them at a store like zellers, walmart or canadian tire if you can't get to a petstore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FLIP Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm selling a 30 gallon tank so i can afford the meds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 but they might be dead or too far gone by then. When fish get sick they need to be treated ASAP. Research the salt/heat method. I'm sure yo uhave some of that in the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I don't think Noxich or something similar is that expensive. you could mow a couple of lawns or do odd jobs for cash and earn the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 ich meds are like a couple bucks. Look in the couch, I'm sure you can find enough there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Lee Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Or you could spend a couple of bucks on the bus to come into the University station and I can give you one of the extra bottles I have lying around. I am not going to drive them out to you. These people aren't kidding if you do not treat the ich all of your fish will sicken and die.

Guest FLIP Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I actually got some now my parents actually felt sorry for me. Hopefully the fish will be ok. My sunset gourami died today which is too bad it was one of my favorite fish but it was pretty old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
