Just discovered Ich & I'm going out of town

[Michele]

Hi. I just discovered that I have Ich on some of my guppies. In fact, one guppy is hanging near the surface although I can't see any spots on him. I tested the water & everything is ok, but I did add 2 new guppies a week or two ago.

the problem is I am leaving town in 2 days for a week. I am afraid I am going to come back to a tank full of dead fish. Any ideas???

Turn the temp up on the tank to 84,and add some extra salt. Since you're going to be gone a week,you could check and see if some meds allow that long for the first course of treatment. If not,I have effectively cured ich by raising the temp and adding more salt.
