Hi, I'm new to the hobby. I currently have living in my 20 gallon hexagaon tank: 3 gourami, 2 zebra loaches, 2 guppies, 5 tetras, 1 snail, maybe 2 shrimp but they're hard to find.
So I have Ich in my tank and it's on everyone except the loaches. One of the guppies presented with tail rot today (yay!) I have the packets of fin and tail treatment.
The thing is: I need to do a water change and the last time I did the gravel suction to get all the poop out, I lost two guppies from the stress of it?
I'm getting Ichx in the mail tonight, so I want to do the water change SOON and get the treated tap water in. I just don't know about doing ICHx tonight (they really need it) when I just put in treated water because I read that the sulfates in the conditioner will cause the Ichx to not work.
Advice appreciated
Thanks!
