Clown loach suddenly down with ICH

[Alien_spawn]

I'm praying a lot at mo lol


oddly enough my Betta hasn't showed any signs of it along with my plecos, plattys and platty fry

Well mine were covered and I mean coverd and they still made a full recovery and quite quickly.

Ditto... at the worst part of the outbreak, my littlest clown looked like he was covered in specks of salt. He and all my other clowns fully recovered from the experience.

Same thing happened to me, I just notice a couple of white spots on my clown loach today, I probably stress them out when i move my tank from my living room to my room. What med should i use that's available in canada and won't affect my loaches?

whatever you go for Half med them and double the length of time

I don't think moving a rock would bring on an outbreak of ich that seems a bit....far fetched. I've moved decor on my clowns (even took away their cave about a year ago) I've moved them from tank to tank and they have never had ich

Now other fish in your tank have it? There's possibly more going on in there then you may think....

Good luch with the recovery

I think you're right wuvmybetta

I think this was the initial start of the problem....

I removed the ICH med too soon when my mail order Zebra turned up with white spot, all signs seemed that it was gone from the fish and he is still clean from it, I only ran it one day after he was clean with the med.

Bad mistake I think. I've never had ICH problems before in 3yrs of fish keeping

they all on road to recovery now, lot better only one CL with a tiny bit of white spot now

 

[Alien_spawn]

All cleared now thanks for all advice etc

Glad to hear, I seem to be copying you. Unfourtunatly my tank now has ich.

 

[Alien_spawn]

Oh no, sorry to hear that Ryan, hope all goes well

 

[ryan]

Thanks, I hope it goes well two. One of my Plecos must have brought it in, but becuase they hide so much I must have missed it.

sounds like a simliar story. I believe my zebra introduced ICH into the tank
