Have you ever used a copper pipe? Thats my go to even with ich medication avaliable! Never lost a fish to ich before 4 days and it should be gone Worked for over 20 years for me Add the copper pipe or cable etc. I use about a 20cm for a 150L tank but you do not need to be specific as it is hard to overdose. I usually put it in for about 3-4 days then take it out for a day or 2 to see how the fish are doing and if need be add the pipe in again. Works for salt water aswell I'd say keep it away from corals but otherwise snails and shrmp in my experience are completely fine. Although I would advise to proceed with caution. You won't regret it it's saved me so many times!
@PaulZyCZ Oh yes I believe you are correct! As well as plecos I believe. I haven't used the copper pipe with them before but if they are sensitive to copper it's probably best to stay away
Crank the temperature to 85-87F and just let them ride it out. The parasites will drop off and go dormant due to the temp. Saves the trouble of adding salt/sourcing meds. Good luck! I just went through the same thing in my 90G Geophagus aquarium.
@@elvinsworld11 just do your routine water changes or larger than normal. That’s what’s worked for me. You’ll probably have the temp cranked up for a week or longer before all of the ich disappears. I do a weekly 25% water change on my 90g
@@elvinsworld11 just do what you always do. My particular tank is set up for zero water changes I continued to just top it off and kept temps 86+ for few weeks it all faded away haven't had a problem since
I am so grateful that you chose to share this video! I noticed it before you even said it; little white bumps on the fish. "Is that ich?" Then you confirmed it. We do enjoy just watching beautiful fish in beautifully set up aquariums but this is far more valuable to your audience. Good thing you caught it in time!
As I was younger no internet or anything to learn except reading books. I really glad you showed this to the younger audience of proper quarantine of fish. I was running 32 smaller tanks at the age of 16 for breeding and such and enjoyment. made a lot of money selling fish to local stores at the time but its about the passion and also the loss that can happen. Again thanks Joey for informing younger crowds what to do and not to do. It happens to the best of us. Much love from a Fellow Canuck.
This is the kind of thing I learned from your videos which probably saved me countless times. You taught me to ALWAYS quarantine new fish and I do, and it probable saved me a few hundreds of fish by now
Used to have 14 tanks ranging from 2.5 to 125 gallons. So many fish and inverts being introduced to my tanks. Had plans to go bigger and thought I was ready for a silv arow. Got it from a trusted fish shop. Quarentined and treated em and everything was going great. Put them in a grow out and decided to do the same with a gorgeous oscar but introduced early since I got it from the same shop. Found out a few days later that the entire grow out was festered with ick and the only one to not make it out of the treatment process was my baby silver arowana. Will never forget the lesson ever. Always quarantine for the appropriate amount of time. It will save you a heartbreak for years of enjoyment for a few weeks of patience. Keep the scaly friends happy people and they will return the favor
Use salt and put a heater in the tank and turn it up to 83-87 degrees and that ich will die off. After it falls off do a water change add more salt and turn the heat down and start the quarantine cycle over again
^ freshwater ich definitely responds to temperature. Plus a few big water changes and feeding the fish well. Salt always works just watch it with certain types of fish
It's not so much telling him how or what to do but he asked what would we do if our fish had ich and you couldn't buy ich meds like him. He asked so he could get some channel engagement and discussion in the comments
Joey you've just done the most responsible thing you could have ever done you shown the negative side of fish keeping and what can really happen when buying fish. Luckily you QT your fish just imagine what would have happened if you hadn't doesn't bare thinking about ❤❤
I'm glad to see that you put this video out so that you can treat them properly instead of rushing treatment. Just goes to show why we must quarantine. Good video Joey
Try crushed garlic with garlic oil in the tank. Make sure they nibble on it. Raise the tank slowly to 84.5. Ick can’t live above 84 degrees. Just for a day. Repeat as needed.
Keep your head up mate! Just as you once told us: It‘s your hobby and it comes first! You don’t need to jump the gun on these kinds of things so we can see them a few days earlier. Take your time, do things your way. We will wait! Best regards from Germany
Joey, I had same issue with my African Chichlids few years back. I got rid of ick by treating it with garlic. Peel off the skin and Crush the garlic , then mix it's juice with their food. Also scatter couple of garlic cloves in the tank and spike up the temperature to around 86-88° , you will see the difference within 48 hours.
Classic example of why I quarantine and treat every fish right from day one coming into my room even if they don't show signs of sickness. Ich is a nightmare to treat in a planted tank.
1) keep lights off 2) water change every day 3) freshwater salt 4) towel over tank to keep dark 5) raise temperature to 80 degrees F should be gone within a week or 2
Thank you for this video. I am so glad you did quarantine your new fish. It is an important lesson. Best wishes to you. We know you will do everything you can. Hope they all get cured.
If you catch it early, heat will work on its own (28-32°C) Give it a few weeks and the ich will die off as they go through their life cycle. If you can't use salt because of plants, a UV filter can help kill the ich as it falls off or re-emerges from the substrate.
If medication isn´t available I would increase the biofiltration and add a UV-C light with a pump that goes 4 to 6 times the volume of the aquarium. That would kill the free swimming stages in maybe two weeks
I was about to say "Stop talking to us about it! Go get ye some meds!" and then remembered Canada has their own ideas on the matter. And I'm not going to try to home brew of some 3% copper chromate.
Awesome video, I use salt as a preventative, I add it with each water change, I never get diseases on my fish,. Raise your temp in tank to 89 degrees and add salt, 9 days all gone.
Doesn't make sense Canada made it against the law for medications for fish. It is almost inhumane law. Where are the animal rights activist on this one? Isn't there a med that suppose to be legal in Canada, sorry I don't remember the name.

Thought salt and raising of the water temperature can produce some positive results for ich. At least you saw it before putting them in the 16 foot aquarium. Glad you showed this video as it explains why one needs to quarantine new fish much longer than just a couple a weeks. I like to treat my new fish in the Quarantine period as a prophylactic measure to assure my new fish are ready to add to my existing fish and aquarium. Even if it is just salt it a good preventive measure to start with, then watch your fish closely before adding other mods. It far more effective in a smaller tank than and less expensive than in a much larger system. Good luck at least you caught it before to move them in with you other fish. People have been impatient to add new fish to existing aquarium and they may get away with it from time to time; but all it takes is that one time you dont quarantine and it could cause a massive die off of your all your fish and that can get very expensive and all it takes is that one fish infected fish you had to have and couldn't wait to add it to your aquarium. I seen quite a few people give up the hobby because they were impatient for just a couple of fish and lost all their favorite fish, amounting to the loss hundreds and some cases thousands of dollars incmvestment.

Salt treatment works best with high water tamps!!! Those guys can take it, put heater in at 82°F idk what that is in Celsius for you Canadians. Then salt treat. Will speed up the process, have had fish worse that just boosting up the temp for two weeks with out salt or treatment meds works. I havemt used ich meds in 10 plus years
9:57 Joey the same thing happened to me I was in shock. It was out of nowhere like you said. They were fine then Bam after like 3 weeks for me. Now I only have one fish left from the wipe out. It's over for me at least I still have one I guess. He got treated instantly of course. He seems fine I'm just hoping he is. we will see in a couple of weeks i guess.

That tank needs way my plants/ hard scape. For such a large size tank it looks so bare, smaller terras will also likely feel more at home with plants to swim through
your such a great actor, never seen someone make such a big deal of ich.. lol watching you its like the end of the world, easy fix. :D thanks for the entertainment tho.
I have heard that you can put a fish with ich in a salt water tank for a short time till the ich falls off then put them in a clean tank of fresh water .
Only place we'd find ich meds or know anyone that does is Canada is in Toronto and Maybe Vancouver. So we've got ich meds, but unfortunately, it's not readily available in less populated provinces or small towns. Joey is in Nova Scotia.
Happened when I got discus. Added straight to a 100g and had to treat that tank. Luckily they were the only fish but I wish I used a smaller tank first
Well spotted, bro. I watch my pets with intent. Thats how I pick up if something is wrong, treat it early before it gets worse. I'm not an expert on everything to do with the hobby, so i join fb groups and scroll the page and learn from other peoples, problems, that I may encounter in the near future. Write down the experience peoples, advice. That way you are in a calm state when dealing with the issue, because you have the remedy at hand and knowledge of the procedure
Hello! I also have Wild Altum Angelfish on my 50 gallons aquarium together with Denison barbs. I'm going to upgrade soon into 75 gallons. They are so amazing and gorgeous angelfish. 🥰😍🤩
I'm not a fan of using salt in aquariums. Ich can't attach to a host at 85°F. They can't reproduce at 86°F and they'll die off at 89.5°F in 5 days. You need air stones when using the heat method and you need to vacuum the bottom of the tank every day (or every other day at least) for 10-14 days to get rid of the cysts before they hatch. Also, you need an accurate thermometer b/c the temps are very specific. At 84°F, their life cycle is sped up and will reproduce and attach to fish faster. Unless I have heat sensitive fish, I raise the temp to 88°F for 14 days. Cichlids are more resilient to heat so they shouldn't have a problem with 88°F for 14 days.
Acara seem to be very Ich prone in my opinion. I had 2 breeding pairs of Electric blues that were extremely healthy. Had them for 4 months. Both pairs spawned then both females got a bad case of ich immediately after. I lost both females and one male. No other fish in the tanks got Ich except them and it's the first time I've lost a fish to Ich ever. I also had a natural Blue Acara and yep, he got Ich as well. He had been in a tank with a single Ellioti for 2 months, the Ellioti never got Ich. He did just fine after heat/salt treatment though.
maybe the selective breeding could've weaken their immune system? i can relate to your comment because i noticed so many rams has issues with diseases/infections and they are both from selective breeding.
8:13 I want you to take a close look at some of them - I move closer to my screen and then get a blinding bright white screen with a Bell advertisement! If it isn't their customer support failing them it is their ad placement!
NOOOO!!!...This is a horrible but awesome lesson for everyone. Now you can show fundamental fish keeping knowledge and why you go through quarantine process. I would also share losses...I'm hoping you caught it i time but would be great to show the financial loss if you didnt catch this..
Would someone be able to mail you meds? Or would customs keep it from coming in? I’m in the US. I wouldn’t mind buying and sending it out just so you have it for future use. I’m sure others wouldn’t mind too. But again, would customs let it through?
That looks more like epistylis, bacterial, inwhich case heat will make it worse. Their immune systems are probably stressed from breading aggression etc.
I saw it! Whoa! Good thing you noticed that before adding them, that was a close call 😅 Why doesn’t Canada let you use Ick medicine? Genuinely curious 👀
I still don't know what I was supposed to be looking for with ich. I understand you were kind of rushed when you noticed it. I've never seen it, so I don't know what I was looking for.

Both pairs spawned then both females got a bad case of ich immediately after. I lost both females and one male. No other fish in the tanks got Ich except them and it's the first time I've lost a fish to Ich ever.
I also had a natural Blue Acara and yep, he got Ich as well. He had been in a tank with a single Ellioti for 2 months, the Ellioti never got Ich. He did just fine after heat/salt treatment though.
maybe the selective breeding could've weaken their immune system? i can relate to your comment because i noticed so many rams has issues with diseases/infections and they are both from selective breeding.
8:13 I want you to take a close look at some of them - I move closer to my screen and then get a blinding bright white screen with a Bell advertisement! If it isn't their customer support failing them it is their ad placement!
NOOOO!!!...This is a horrible but awesome lesson for everyone. Now you can show fundamental fish keeping knowledge and why you go through quarantine process. I would also share losses...I'm hoping you caught it i time but would be great to show the financial loss if you didnt catch this..
hi i love your videos. can u do 1 about how to size sponge filter to fish tank PEASE it will help
Show us the treatment!
At least u cought it 😂😂❤❤
Sounds like next time you're in the USA for an event, you'll need to pick up a whole bunch of ick medication & others just in case!
Joey you can’t get ich guard
Would someone be able to mail you meds? Or would customs keep it from coming in? I’m in the US. I wouldn’t mind buying and sending it out just so you have it for future use. I’m sure others wouldn’t mind too. But again, would customs let it through?
I hope you have dedicated nets...
I saw negative comments about the blue background. I am also color blind, and I see your attraction to it.
You just talked about ich a few videos ago if i remember right ! What bad luck & is that a scratch i see at 1:42 :o
Happens to all of us in the hobby I had ick a month ago and got rid of it successfully!
12:55 I feel your pain. lol I have plans but I need to free my grow out tanks first lol
I seem to have the ick problem with blue acara every time I’ve naughty them many times and they get it every time
That looks more like epistylis, bacterial, inwhich case heat will make it worse. Their immune systems are probably stressed from breading aggression etc.
I saw it! Whoa! Good thing you noticed that before adding them, that was a close call 😅 Why doesn’t Canada let you use Ick medicine? Genuinely curious 👀
U should add albino Heckli in 16 feet aquarium, what u think?
But kaveman aquatics says I can fully quarantine my stuff with seachem products in just 2 days .. 😂
I still don't know what I was supposed to be looking for with ich. I understand you were kind of rushed when you noticed it. I've never seen it, so I don't know what I was looking for.
looks like salt sprinkled on the fish.
@thekingofdiy Thank you. It's good to know for a possible future event that I don't want.. Thankfully, I've never had it with any of my fish.
OH NO!!!
What about raising the temperature via internal heater
That's weird. In Poland we have ick medication even in a supermarket pet section
Hi guys, I am new to the hobby, and I have a question about building my first aquarium tank. And the question is, can 1/4-thick glass support 48x20x20
You just talked about ick a few videos ago if i remember right ! What bad luck
Just my opinion but I think the Geophagus would look way better in the 2K tank.
