angel still has ich

[jhelen]

Why has my angel still got ich after i have been treating for 2 weeks.??..and i have been treating every day temp has been up to 80 and ive been doing water changes (tank is cycling as well) - i am surprised they are all still alive after 3 weeks of cycling as i did not know about cycling until after i got the fish so had to do with them in the tank, so they maybe still weak

i had 2 clown loach which had ich and it has been gone for about a week from them but the angel still has it and appears to have more spots than before and has now started to rub against plants.

what can i do to get rid of it, and is there anything else it could be?

(also can ich leave scars as the angel seems to have marks on his fins which are not white spots but look almost like bubbles)

(no other symptoms and the fish are all eating)

patrameters: ammonia 0-0.3 (hard to tell)

nitrite- 0.3 (going down)

nitrate - 20

ph - 7

thanks

What meds are you using? A good med that cured my ick was QuIck cure. Clears it in about 4 days and it's cheap(about $6 can).

 

[jhelen]

the med is called ESHA Exit-its green stuff and i think its quite strong as is says to only use for 5 days

would 84 degrees be ok? thats not too hot for the fish? how long can i leave it at that for?
