Day before yesterday my pictus catfish looked fine. Then yesterday they were covered in ich. 2 of them I doubt will make it.
I am sure they must have had it for awhile and just showed no signs of it. But it can't be treated until you know it is there. So what is a person to do?
I went to town today to try to find something for it that won't hurt scaleless fish. But I couldn't find anything. I found a lot for fish with scales, but for my pictus. I have no idea what to do except start again, because they are obviously not going to make it. If I could have gotten something for it, maybe they would. But they have gone downhill since I left and came back home. I can't believe it happened so fast.
I am going to do water changes everyday and hope the cory cats and the gouarmie do not get it too.
If anyone has any suggestions that might help just fire away. I know I could raise the water temp, but at this point I doubt it would help much. Maybe some ich meds would have helped, but you have to be able to find them first. I was looking for Jungle Ich Guard II for scaleless fish. I can't even find a place online to purchase it much less an actual brick and morter store that sells it.
