ICH doin my head

[alexkay]

Well as some of you helpful people know I got a new Betta a week ago & he had ICH I have treated the tank & gave Seth (betta) a salt bath - but it has now spread to the rest of the fish!!!!!!! Bloody annoyin stuff!!! I have been treating the tank since last wed - after the salt bath seths disappeared - but it doesnt seem to want to shift off the guppies - I have plattes aswell they seem ok & so do my red eyes & mollies its just the guppies........ can I do wot i did with seth & put them in a salt bath & would that help get rid of it?

Oh & can my plec catch it? he seems fine but Im unsure, I no not to put salt in tank with him.

thanks Alex xx

Whitespot can be hard to shift it might take two courses just carry on with the med, before you redose do a gravel vac and turn temp up to 30, put a blanket over the tank, good luck.

Hi my tank temp is usually between 26 & 30 (does it on its own) i have done a water change today which i did a gravel vac & I havent redosed just this morning. I have been puttin the meds in everyday. it says to only dose days 1 2 3 then day 6 which we did upto day 3 then it spread to other fish & betta was clear. Im totally confused by it. We started the process again once others got it & now I dont no whether Im supposed to just keep putting it in till it clears or what

Right the water you removed from the gravel back put the correct amount of med back to the gallons you removed, then repeat on the six day as it says in the instructions.if you have no scaless fish add some salt to the tank as well.

Right ok will put in some more med to compensate water I took out. I have a plec so could I take the fish that have ICH out & put them in a salt bath on there own then put them back in after afterwards?? Do you no if the plec can get ICH aswell

I think plec can get whitespot, i would let the med take care of it, don't want to stress them out even more, good luck.
