The past week, I have lost two of my Green Barbs. They were the newest addition to my community. I purchased them from a LFS that I normally do not shop at. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary wrong with them. This morning I woke to find one of my larger Cherry Barbs not eating and very lethargic. He has white spots all over his body. He has Ich. I removed him from the tank and put him in a breeding tank. This is my first battle with Ich and have read a bunch of info here on treating the parasite. I am going to get meds on my lunch break to treat the tank. I am going to remove the carbon filters and raise water temp. I will do a 50% water change this afternoon and a gravel cleaning. Anything else? I am really bummed. Wish me luck.
I have 4 Tiger Barbs, 4 Cherry Barbs ( one sick ) and a golden algae eater. Lost 2 Green Barbs this week.
