HELP!!

[newfishies]

i have been treating my tank for ich...my female betta is the only one who shows the white spots. her anal fin is starting to fray a little and she has become leathargic. i upped the temp to 82, treated with ich meds and have been changing about 25% every other day. what should i do? i heard you could do a salt bath, but i don't know how?!?!?!
i also have a single endler in a hospital tank theat i have upped the temp and added salt to. i don't know if he has ich though, because his one spot looks different than hers.
they were never in the same tank, so i don't think they are related...should i move her to the hospital?
any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

hi newfishies

I've had many encounters and not one fish has ever died to it. Hopefully you'll have my luck! All I did was increase the temp to about 83-84 and then I just let it sit for a few days and it went away within a very short day or so. When did you first notice the disease? But it seems to me that you've done all the right things! good luck

she is now hovering towards the top of the tank with her tail higher than her head...this doesn't look good to me...

update-
i put her in a breeding net overnight. she is just sitting at the top of the water and her gills are "gasping" for air. any advice

well, sorry to say, satine didn't make it. i came home on my lunch break to check on her and she was belly-up in the tank. i hope the others will be okay

I'm sorry you lost her. What were you treating the ich with? (what meds besides upping the temp.)

R.I.P. little girl Good luck with the others

i was using wardley's ich med... i didn't add any salt b/c of my corys. i raised the temp to 82 (my heater is old...i nedd a new one). oh well, at least the rest of the fish seem okay.
