Back On Track

[FishGuest5123]

As many know, I started rebuilding my 55G tank back in April and decided to go with Neon Tetras and cories. Started out great but my first batch of neon tetras came down with ich. The fight to rid the ich took over 5 weeks. Meanwhile, I have had additional cories and neons waiting in QT tanks to join the community. I have 4 tanks of fish waiting. I lost all of my plants due to heat/salt treatment (should have moved them). Currently have some new plants in QT and waiting for others to arrive. Tank has been completely ich free for a week now. I have begun slowly lowering the temp and hopefully I will be able to start moving some of the fish in QT into the community tank within the next few days. I want to add them in small batches to keep the stress level down and prevent any further outbreaks of ich. Everyone is being well fed with garlic currently to build up their immune systems and prepare them for the move. Hopefully, in a couple of weeks, I will finally be able to show you my completed neon/Cory tank. Fingers crossed.

Yay! So glad that you are finally ich free. That must be a good feeling.

 

[FishGuest5123]

For sure!

I'm glad you've finally gotten rid of the ich! I can't wait to see your finished tank.

@PhantomCarp, what happened to your blobfish profile pic?

Happy to hear things are getting back to normal, I have at least 8 platy fry in a fish net and 4 or more in my QT tank. I just bought two M/F last week and she had fry the next morning. I am going to tranfer the adult platies to my LOTR Guppy tank at the end of the week. I will leave the platy fry free in the 30 gallon QT tank which only had a ghost shrimp and some snails. When things settle down for you I would love to see some pictures of your neon tetras. Good luck with your fish transfer.
