The heat and salt method is one of the traditional methods to quickly treat for Ichthyophthirius multifiliis aka Ich or Ick. This method is suited for tropical fish who can tolerate higher temperatures.

Salt and Gradual temperature increases to 86 degrees worked for me every time. Just keep the temp at or around 85 after treatment to keep the safety of your fish in mind. Tropical fish do not mind temps in the mid 80s.
This sounds like a recipe for fish soup. Hot water and salt. Great video! Thumbs up
+Florida Fish Guy If, for some reason, it all goes downhill you should add some beans and noodles. It's delicious.
+AquaStudent you said 2 tablespoons per 5 gallons or even up to 5 tablespoons PER GALLON....did you mean up to 5 tablespoons per 5 gallons or per gallon??? Sorry i just want to get this right and not harm my fish.... But anyway ive heard aquarium salt is good for ciclids anyway
+TheRudy1629 I did find a resource that used 5 TBS per gallon (which is very concentrated). I probably wouldn't go over 2 TBS per gallon. You would want to increment it up to that limit anyway. Sudden changes are not desirable.
It's good that you want to get it right. I think you should start somewhere around 2 TBS per 5G and then increment up to a total of 1 TBS per gallon after a day or two. Monitor the fish and adjust accordingly.
I think I ended up using about 1-2 TBS per gallon during the treatment discussed in this video.
Best of luck! Hopefully you can beat this protozoan problem.
+AquaStudent thank you very much for your help i hope i can beat this along with my fish
Kudos for the laser focused information on dealing with ich.
It's so hard to find videos that aren't so up close & personal (extremely cheeeezy).
I watched one today that showed the person filming himself going to the pet store for meds...
Really?
I saw that too
I have only had a problem with ich once when I first started in the hobby almost turned me off the hobby but my lfs showed me how to get rid of it and I have been hooked ever since good info I hope it helps new hobbyists
+Luis Q. Thankfully it's a fairly easy disease to treat but it can be discouraging, especially right when you enter the hobby. I hope you never have to face Ich again!
This is the method I use. And it does work with great results.
+NYCity Cichlids It's my favorite method. I'm not a fan of using chemicals in my tank because they linger. If I can beat something without having to add in extra stuff that's what I'm going to do.
Thanks for stopping by.
If I want my fish to live, looks like I’m pulling an all nighter
AquaStudent Salt is a freshwater tank?
NYCity Cichlids good info
NYCity Cichlids I used a medication and followed directions and lost all my fish
I'm actually attempting this method now, hopefully it works since it's in my main show tank.
Did this method work for you??? I dont know if i should go with this method or the medicine way
+TheRudy1629 This method worked very well for me. I'd only recommend this method for fish that can withstand the higher temperatures. If you can move your fish to a smaller tank and use medicines that's fine too. I wouldn't recommend using something like meth blue in your primary tank because of the stain.
Also, if you have scaleless fish many of the meditations can be fatal. You'll have to look into the specifics for your case.
+AquaStudent thank you
AquaStudent does the salt effects plants because i did your method & now im afraid my plants might die?
Same my main tank got the disease and it’s gonna be a big wreck cus the angel fish I had since it was still little it been with me for almost 4 years
I haaaaate Ich! My brother just caused an Ich outbreak in one of my tanks (long story) but it’s driving me nuts
How can you avoid getting ich?
KingGioC2 keep the temperature in your tank consistent and keep it around 78 degrees 👍
Another way is remove the substrate if you can (if it's sand you can easily suck it out). Ick needs a substrate to hatch in.
Go to hell ich😂
@@BlatentlyFakeName what if we completely remove the substrate..will the cycle for ich cut down? Reply fast..my fish are sick
Thanks for your Video today i caught the ich outbreak on my female bettas, isolated them and used the Salt bath treatment, i then realized who the culprit was, my Oto Catfish 🤦♂️🤣 Isolated him with Salt bath as well and i did just notice my tetra has 1 small dot so i decided to just crank the Heat up to 87 F. We'll see what happens from here, my fish usually thrive at around 83 F because i'm heavily into Bettas so they should be fine.
I only had ich once when I adopted some infected loaches. I started with three days of half-dosing 'Nox-Ich' medication and then a 50% water change, adding back the carbon filter to soak up the rest of the medication, and then about a week for raised temperature and light aquarium salt. All 30 of my fish made it alive and well, with just some unhealthy plants as casualties. I'm not saying that's the correct way to do it, I'm just sharing my experience in case it helps more people. Ultimately I think I've avoided ich ever since simply by keeping nitrates out of the water and being careful with new fish.
I think advancements in medications have made them much more potent and safer. Meds are probably a better way to treat for most strains and for most fish...but there is some logic to the old methods.
Thanks for the sub Ron.
Another tip to help is to clean your filter. Remove all the sponges and rinse them.
Ugh I've been using ich x for an entire 2wks now.. Its like every other day i see no spot but continue treatment bc life cycle and boom new spots next day! I even bumped up dosing from the min 24hrs to max 8hrs. I was dumb and cocky and put new fish in after 8yrs no issues. I noticed right away fish had it and removed even started treating next day! It's not bad but not going away! I have plants and corydora so I'm afraid of salt but starting to slooowly turn up heat. I've lost 4 going on 5 new guppys who didn't even show spots. I'm tired of 40% water changes 2x a day in a 55g plus taking care of a newborn.
I wish I had found your videos earlier today. I have a 38 gallon tank that have two fish in it right now, a male rainbow fish and a female molly that both have ick. The pet store suggested I use Kordon Copper-Aid to get rid of the ick. I already added the treatment to the tank this morning. My concern is that I've been doing a lot of research on ick and I'm coming across SO many conflicting strategies to getting rid of ick. Some say to remove carbon from filter if you add treatment, some say to add treatment and turn up the heat, some say if you add treatment and turn up the heat you will kill your fish. Some say to do water changes every day.... Please help. There's no information on the packaging of the ick treatment and no helpful advice on Kordon's website. I've had my rainbow fish for over a year and I bought this big tank for him so I could buy more Rainbow fish. The female molly was purchased four days ago and she's the cause of the ick outbreak, I did quarantine her but only for two days - i should have waited longer (since she's a dalmatian I didn't see any spots). Thank you for your videos and your time.
Treating with meds is a good option. Don't worry about adjusting the temperature. Keep it at your normal temp. Remove carbon from your filter as the carbon can remove the meds. Follow the treatment on the packaging (it'll say to give a certain amount depending on the volume). Keep treating for at least 3-4 days (better yet a week) after you see the last white spot.
Hit it early and hit it hard to give your fish the best chance.
Since you're treating with meds you shouldn't also do the salt and heat method. The medication method should be preferred over salt and heat anyway.
Best of luck!
AquaStudent My fish have black spots it’s the same thing right? I increased my temperature of my tank and tomorrow I’m going to buy aquarium salt. I have two of the fish with the most black spots out of the tanks but in these little plastic things. I’m hoping my fish will do well. All the other fish in the tank look good. But increased the temperature just Incase and I will add salt and I don’t know if I should buy the meds too.
AquaStudent also I put epsolm salt in the little plastic things for now.
Worried sick now ill get some salt been using Api white spot only got 2 baby sun cats but there were 2 corys that were Banging so I took them out what should I do coz sun cats only like 25 ,26 degrees cellcius budd pls help
Great video, very informative short and to the point.
Budd I just got to sun cats will they b ok at 80 degrees cellcius
Great video. Very informative and easy to follow. Cheers 👍
I am writing this to help you all after successfully treating my fish ich because after i find my fish was suffering from ich, i searched a lot on internet watched a lot of videos but i got very jumbled answers so lets start
1- put your fish to another empty tank(u can also use a big bucket like me if you dont have another tank) and fill it using 50 percent of your tank water and 50 percent of fresh water (believe me this step is really important in my opinion i have lost a fish due to this so do it if you dont want to loose any of your fish)
2- put heater and filter in this tank too and raise the temp to 30 C or 86 F( warning-some fish dont bear this temp so it will be good to search on internet whether your fish will suvive this temp or not and if not follow the next step leaving this step).
3- add rock salt (aquarium salt) 1 table spoon per gallon(1 gallon =3.7litre)(tips for indians- you can use sendha namak also known as vrat ka namak which is used in fasting remember the key is you can use any white salt which dont have extra iodine added in it)
3- add anti ich (also known as blue liquid or methylene blue) in proportion 1 ml per 5 litre water but you have to read description behind anti ich bottle first, as proportion for different products may differ and try to check both offline and online stores, i purchased from offline store in very cheap rate of 30 rupees)(some people dont use anti ich they use only temp change and salt addition but i dont wanted to do any experiment with my fished so i added anti ich).
4- this step is also very important try to keep your fish in less lighting u can turn off your aquarium light and if u doing this in bucket you can cover it 80 percent.
5-change 30 percent water in 1 or 2 days(i did everyday) and add required amount of salt and anti ich according to the water you removed from your tank)(you can clear sponge if you have internal filter like mine everytime you change the water by rinsing and squizing it in the water you removed from your tank, this is optional do, it if you can i did this).
And This is all you have to do and strictly remember dont stop feeding your fishes and also treating may take 10 to 15 days to cure completely (in my case it take almost 10 days). Ich parasite do not remain alive without any host fish after 48 hours. That is how i treated my fish hope this helps....☺️☺️
Thankyou
Can we use iodised salt?
@@tharun430 no never use iodised salt
Finally! Someone answered with step by step procedure on how to use salt and MB. Finally!!!!
Great video
i have been fighting ich for like 2 month if not more and i am about to just give up on my aquarium cant get rid of it
i fight it just enought so it dosnt kill the fish but it alway stay present in the tank and refuse to quit ive done almost all the method do get rid of it except the last one wich is to kill the fish clean the aquarium let it dry for a few week and restart and recycle it but i cant do that its just cruel and i want to save my fish
Thank you! You saved my fish
I didn't catch mine in time .. all my fishes are dying one by one .. what's the next step that I should do
Thanks. Really helped me alot. I really like your fish. What species are they?
Thank you. The rounder fish with the stripes are juvenile Heros severus sp. Red Tiger. The torpedo shaped ones are Geophagus sp. 'Red Head Tapajos'. Both species look incredible as they mature. I actually used the profile from one of my adult Red Head Tapajos for my logo.
Your video gave some great tips. I am struggling to cure my convict fish that has ich. I came last week Friday all my baby was dead except 25-30 of them Then the mother died overnight now the father has stop eating and have a big white spot that has is open. I started treat him with an anti-iich that I got from Amazon. The 25-30 babies are still living. I can't take him out because I don't have another tank to put him in. What shall I do?
I have a newt living with my fish. Im afraid the treatments you suggested may harm my newt. Any other treatments?
thank you so much for this advise, i have recently got back into the hobby after a few years, now i live by my self ect. and ich is something ive come across once before when i was very in experienced in the hobby, i noticed ich on a couple cardinal tetra the day after getting them, its day three of having the water at 87-88|f and its all gone from the fish, will keep the water at 86+ for 3-4 more days and then go back to normal, i haven't needed to use salt, just the temperature has done the trick.
I have one doubt! My mollies tank was affected by ich and I lost all. Meanwhile I increased the tank temperature to 32 c for a month with airator I didn’t changed water for one month no fish in the tank but there were aqua plants . Does the ich cyst survive in the plants and the aquarium
Yes they will
Are you saying the heat and salt technique is better than medication?
I am saying salt and heat is alternative that has been shown to work in the past. Some people may not have medications available to them.
If you had the choice between MEDs and salt + heat I would go with meds.
So I come home to my dads apartment and my molly has a severe case of ick, so I’m rapidly searching the internet and I find this video. Thank you
can i add salt and heat to goldfish?
I need help please. I'm not really sure if my comet fish is sick or if something else is wrong with it. When I first bought my comet, it was swimming around and happy but maybe like 2-3 days after I got it started not swimming as much but the other comet that I got together with that is just fine and healthy though. The one that doesn't swim much would pretty much just lay at the bottom of the tank and won't really move much. It's gills and fins are still moving but I also noticed that it doesn't really move its tail very much. When it does swim only its fin would move around a bit but it's tail doesn't really move back and forth like it should. So I'm really worry if something is wrong with it and if there's anything I can do to make it healthy again or if I should consider moving it out to a separate tube so my other comets doesn't get infected too? Please help!
Hello Sakura. Not sure what could be causing it. Depending on what it is you may need to treat the whole tank, not just the infected one.
What are your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and water temperature)? Take a look on a search engine for "lethargic goldfish" or "goldfish diseases" and see if there is anything that matches the symptoms.
Hi My german blue ram fishes are having ich problem for 2 days.... i also have 2 pair of cory fishes.....i heard that cory fishes dont do good with salt and also the tank is a planted tank.....Please advice whether should i use salt or not ......Thanks in advance
I hate a 10g divided betta tank housing 2 bettas 2 mystery snails and 3 ghost shrimp...could I use the heat and salt method with all the inhabitants??
I just love your aquarium man lovely superb
What vacuum do you have
what do i do one of my barbs has itch and it is really gross, it is falling off and there is no bathing salt here and im not aloud to buy online.
I quarantined my fish for 2 WEEKS, treated with heat and salt, and STILL they infected my main tank. -_-
Wow, even after a quarantine? I had ick too recently and it infected every one of my freshwater tanks, same tools for waterchanges, and some relocations of some fish.
I first thought about doing saltwater dips, but that is a lot of work if there are a lot of fast fish in the tank. Since the protozoan is already in the water I dosed with the salt I use for my saltwater tank.
I used to use the chemicals a long time ago, colors the water, have to do tons of waterchanges.
So with the salt method I swear it only took 4 days for the ick to disappear completely. I still did waterchanges, smaller ones and the heat was about 82 to 84 degrees since it is summer now.
I was so amazed by how well this method worked. Especially since I just had purchased new fish and no aquarist wants to loose a whole batch of new fish.
it's recommended to quarantine fish for 4-6 weeks, so I'm not surprised.
How often should I be adding salt?
What is the brand of the gravel syphon your using????
Heard cory catfish and aquarium plants don't like aquarium salt...
My research fishes (pangasisus/ freshwater shark) infected by Ich, as this scale less fish do I follow the same treatment?
Is the dosage of salt still the same if the tank already has aquarium salt in it currently?
Im currently using salt for ich for my new mini koi pond (110g) on my deck. next spring i will be making a 3000g pond. have no clue where it came from as ive got tiny koi from 3 different places and pond plants from 2 places. I dont have a way to heat the pond but will salt work without heat? If so, should i keep salt in it for 3 weeks?
I have the same problem with my pond. I am not sure because half of my fish are infected and the other half isn’t.
that pool filter sand tho lmao
what about Garlic powder, can I use that until I can get a whole garlic to shred?
Thank you this is very helpful because my goldfish has this problem very badly and I've noticed it getting worse and worse each day so thank you very much for this tutorial
I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. This method is not a good choice for goldfish (as stated in the video) because goldfish are cold water fish. The heat will cause them more stress than the heat would benefit them.
Are you suppose to add salt to your main tank?
would that steps remove my water snake's ich?
peaple say to do the salt dip thing.on fish for 20 mins and i did that but i do not knoe howw many times and whenwhen?
What is the name of the spices of fish you have
The striped one
My all of the guppies and two mollies are infected with white spot.
I added methylene blue in the main tank.
Is that a problem?
Pls reply in one day......pls
*********** 1 Teaspoon per gallon is a safe bet.... anything past that e.g 2 teaspoons per gallon, monitor your fish for signs of agitation.
Very very very good information keep up the videos thanks
I made a video I'm doing same method but using garlic does it help??? I'm new to this.. pissed I bought a fish from sketchy fish place.. fish bowl fallriver mass... Don't have tank to quarantine so yeah WTF.. seems to be working though
What sort of salt? Just a normal salt you get from food market or it has to be a salt designed for fish ?
Go to your local pet store for aquarium salt
my aquarium heater only gets the water up to around 76° I have added aquarium salt and have started feeding them omega one with garlic all my fish have ick very small white dots that look like glitter on their fins and tails about how long would these dots stay on until they fall off and be in the free floating stage
also since my fish can stand water with 4 tablespoons of salt in it should I leave them with 4 tablespoons of salt(brackish water) I have mollies guppies and platies
I’m just gonna crank up the heat and hope for the best
Did it work.? I'm going thu the battle of these nasty little shits
Two roadblocks:
I cannot vacuum because of thick plant roots.
I cannot use salt due to plants.
Can I kill ich with temp alone??
You are better off setting up a separate hospital tank and treating all the fish in that. If there are no fish in the main (planted) tank for awhile, the Ich won't be able to reproduce and will make the tank safe again. You can then treat all the fish (since all have been exposed) using medications in the hospital tank. This gives the best chance for both the fish and protects the plants
Love the tank , looks good
I hope it does get worse before it gets better my fish are getting bad and I put a lot of ick treatment I hope your right I don’t want to loose my fish I paid so much for them😭
Can this treatment be used for Betta fish as well? He has one large white spot on his lower fin and I'm starting to get worried...
Yes betas too.
I have 4 fish that got ich in my tank. Can I treat the whole tank (including an angelfish) for it? Or will that harm them?
If one fish is infected you need to treat the entire tank. You can go with this salt and heat method if the fish can tolerate it. Alternatively, many of the medications nowadays are quite good at defeating ich. A great resource is the Aquatic Support Community (give them a search on facebook). I highly recommend that community. If you want to take the meds route they can get you set up with everything you will need.
Once the protozoan is in the water column the aquarist best treat the whole aquarium. Because there are various lifecycles of the protozoan at various stages. In some stages it is easy to eradicate but there are stages when the protozoan is completely immune against even the most aggressive methods.
I have a question let's say I did treatment to my 90 gallon tank for ick I does look like it cleaning up when am I suppose do a water change?? I used salt and turned up the heat up..also wit some treatment for it ..how often am I suppose to change the water after treatment ??
Daily water changes are helpful if you can do it. You want to keep the water as clean as possible. Replace any salt which will be removed.
Okay I'll give it water change now so replace the salt of the amount of gallon taken out..also need the stress coat since I'm using tap water?
_lh3.googleusercontent.com/DF_sdciFphiOSAMZgO6r4sfGvOJTez3D9C19U4k8XUsyPWFob-qwXDT-PqBZf7a-gCLAn3Lq0w_
You'll need to use whatever dechlorinator you use. Stress coat is supposed to be good for their slime coat repair which may be nice as they're undergoing treatment. For regular stuff in the future it's more economical to go with something like Prime or Safe.
AquaStudent thanks alot you were alot of help
AquaStudent i Added the aquarium salt yesterday on my 20 gallon & its working great the ick seem to be falling off😃. When should i do a water change to remove salt? I usally do %25 weekly water changes.
Glad to hear of the progress. 25% weekly is a good schedule. You can also bump that up to every couple of days. Just be sure to add salt to get your desired concentration. Good luck!
AquaStudent Thanks. 😃Ur info saved nova & his tank mates from ick.
Can we do that for iridescent sharks?help me out my fish are sick..and I can't order any med due to lockdown
Wish I had known about the risks with ich medication :( I killed 2 of my loaches this week with it
My Blackmoor has developed an ich...should i increase the temperature to 32 degree Celsius ? Do I need to keep the lights off ?
goldfish won't fare well with this method. Medication will be your best option.
How long should i medicate my fish? I also have a Blackmoor with Ich but luckily my Fantail is still fine.
Im using Seachem Paraguard as medication BTW
I’ve been treating my aquarium for the last week with Pima fix.. now I wake up to find one of my rainbows has a couple of little white bumps which I’m assuming is ich... I am so confused! I keep a warm tank but raised the temp up a few degrees to 86 and now I’m wondering if I should or even can safely add the aquarium salt. Do I do a water change before I add it? I don’t know if you’ll even read this but I could really use some advise
Hi. Did you ever get rid of these dreadful ich??
@@michellelovesanimals2237 my poor aquarium went through some issues and I unfortunately lost a lot of fish. I have 4 fish now 1-angel. 1-boesemani. 1-Australian rainbow and 1- dwarf honey gourami. I really don’t understand,
You have Blackbeard algie in your tank
Don't do heating method if the fish is having breathing difficulties
I have a betta, it's in a very small tank not even a gallon. I think It has ich can I treat him in that without filter and bubbler. I have a ten gallon and filter but it's not cycled or set up. what should I do
Hello Kat. A 10 gallon would be much better suited (and probably better suited for a betta anyway). You can use material from the current small tank to instantly cycle the 10g. If you are going to boost the temperature you will need an airstone because warmer water can't hold as much dissolved oxygen.
Advancements in medications have made them an excellent option and are more effective than the salt and heat method. Look at your local fish store or pet shop for ich medications. Treating early will help increase the odds of survival.
AquaStudent I put him in the ten gallon with a air stone bubbler and heater. The temperature right now is 78 degrees. I did see spots on him but now I don't see them lol he did look like he had gold dust on him before but now I don't see that either anymore. I have kordon rid ich plus. But I'm not sure if I should treat him because I don't see the white dots anymore
That's interesting. Gold dust sounds more like velvet to me. Take a look at that and see if that's helpful. Hopefully there really wasn't an issue. Those are the good things to be mistaken on. Best of luck! I bet the betta is much happier in the warm 10g tank.
AquaStudent he is much happier. But I'm a little concerned about him being in their and not having the tank cycled. How much water and how often should I change his water. I need to buy a Api water test kit.
A water test kit will help you keep close tabs on it. If your previous tank was already established and you used media or decorations from it you can jumpstart the cycle in the new tank. You'll already have the bacteria required to complete the nitrogen cycle.
Water change regiments depend on the stocking level, amount/frequency of feeding, and whether or not you're growing live plants. About 20% weekly is a pretty good number to start with and you can go from there.
How slowly do you acclimate your fish back down in temperature because I've heard that it is more stressful to acclimate a fish to cooler temps as compared to raising their temps?
+Agr414 I don't have any data on that. I know most fish can tolerate cooler temperatures better than warm ones. The biggest concern in adjusting tank parameters are huge gradients. Quick changes cause problems. I lowered mine back down to normal over a day and a half or so.
+AquaStudent Thanks for the response. I'm planning on lowering the temp of one of tanks by 5 degrees.
From what to what? Any reason for the change? If you change the temp just do so gradually.
+AquaStudent i want to go from 78 to 73 or 72 because i plan on getting a goodeid species which do better at lower temps.
Go for it then. Just make sure the other inhabitants will do well at that temp too.
The problem I have is that my tank is heavily planted. I've read salt will kill my plants.
You need a separate tank for doing the treatment.
Really great videos...
Caution on increasing heat with GOLDFISH though!
So like u said if I raced up temperature to 80 does fish get not stress? And i have 75 gallons how many spoons should i add ? Thank you
I am using this method & it seems to be working. Ick is floating at the bottom of tank so should I clean them manually or ick will die by salty water. Please help
I'm surprised you're able to see them. Without a host the ich parasite will die. However, I often complete partial water changes. It's nice to run a gravel vacuum along the sand/gravel to pick up anything which has fallen off. It can't hurt if it's not in the tank.
Refill with water containing the targeted amount of salt.
Be sure to let anything you put into the tank completely dry (or clean it thoroughly) before using it on another tank to prevent spreading the disease.
thanks for your kindly reply.
Actually there are some tiny white substance floating at bottom of aquarium which I assume to be ich.
how do you clean tools, etc? Soap & water? Alcohol? Hydrogen Peroxide?
@@tago8039 just water! dont use any kin of chemical as that can actually linger even if you think you rinsed it well enough and can affect your fish. water rinsing is your safest bet.
@@cynthiapimentel5371 have found a weak bleach & water solution works really well and diluted hydrogen peroxide too.
Hydrogen peroxide turns into plain water pretty quick -
The amount of bleach i use can barely be smelled.
Be sure to soak everything that needs disinfected in triple dechlorinated water, and then just plain water.
When you're done nothing should smell like fish or chlorine.
I use this on tanks too and never have a problem.
Got this info from longtime fish keepers.
Should I still feed the fish while treating them
Absolutely! Keep an eye on your water parameters and keep on top of your water changes.
AquaStudent I have 2 goldfish with brsitlenose pleccos are the pleccos ok with salt
The goldfish will not enjoy the heat. Plecos should probably be treated as scaleless fish. Your best option to treat that collection of fish for ich is medications. Ideally, medications are your first option.
My betta has ich. I've put him in a 4 minute malachite green bath, and then I've put him in the tank.
Is table salt different from aquarium salt?
Yes.
Thank goodness I have in,y one fish in my tank
hello i have a koi and gold fish tank that they have ich what should i do
You're best off using medications. Quick cure or Kordon Ich atttack is something you should look into.
The salt and heat method is considered outdated but was used frequently in the past.
is that to cure what type of parasite
Sorry, quickCure or Kordon Ich Attack.
wait nvm i just found out it was fungus more then ick sorry
Great video thanks. New subie
I bear ich everytime its nowt if you have cicklids boost your temp to 32c that's all I do works everytime never lost a fish
For how long??
So .. you raise temp to 89.6 farenheit ? If so, for how long?
Can we do this for id sharks?
Do i need high temp if im using medication?
Airin Oropeza probably because you want to stop the ichs replication asap
Do you just pour the salt into the tank?
You could.or add it to the "Water Change"
It should be dissolved before adding it to the tank. You don't want the fish to ingest it because they think it's food. The idea is to treat the outside of the fish. Not the inside.
aquarium salt with cory catfish?
Squirrel Attackspidy No
I am going on a vacation soon so what I am doing to take care of it is giving the fish a mix of garlic and blood worms for food.
Can I use cooking salt??? Plzz answer
Jisha Babu no it can't be iodised salt, or have any additives in the salt. please get aquarium salt to be safe.
Don't use "Iodized" Salt.
are you stupid ._.
Mi nina 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can you just leave everything alone and will it eventually just go away?
Unfortunately, no. Ich is something that needs to be treated and the earlier you can begin treatment the better the chances of survival. Ich is a nasty disease and can easily wipe out an entire system.
if let alone, it could kill the fish
Pa. Fish Preacher yeah it killed 3 of my fish
Just raise temperature and leave tank alone for a few days in total darkness so fish arnt stressing out. Just did it for two days and raised temperature to 87 degrees and seems like all the ick is gone so far
Young Sperm 87 degree? did u kill all your fish bro?
How long can ich live out of the water? Dealing with a cross-contamination now despite using caution.
Newly introduced plants can infect a tank too.
I use ocean salt that is ok or not
NO DO NOT USE OCEAN SALT
is it possible to just use heat
Did u? I'm doing that just using heat
Just add a lot of fish
