Just big water changes. If it is a fungus it could take weeks for it to show up on healthier fish so water changes should help keep them healthy to fight it off (once again, if it is that)@Byron said my water parameters were not suited for these guys. I’m wondering if the long term exposure has caused it. While they were in QT they acted all freaky but seemed more settled in the community tank. I have the temp going up slowly to 86F there. Any other suggestions?
Whitepost (Ichthyophthirius) is a protozoan, as is Velvet (Oodinium), Costia, Chilodonella and Trichodina.Do you think it could be protozoan disease? in which case it is highly contagious and need to QT
So sad Deanasue sorry to hear this xFixed the problem ... boiled the fish! Put the new heater I just got into the QT TANK. Checked it at an hour and temp going up. Checked it at 3 hours and 101.6! Fish were floating in their own little hot tub, bubbler and all. They were just a little too relaxed (dead). Evidentially the thermostat didn’t work on the son of a gun! Oh well! No more ich. Thanks, guys.
