New...... With Problems!

[Memz]

Hi,

Why is it most people don't become members of forums until they have a problem

Well, my name is Emma and a couple of my new babies seem to have Ich ( http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/393280-ick-white-spot-discussion/ )

Please feel free to help and advise in any way you feel fit, I'll be glad of any input.

Thanks. Xxx

Sorry, can't help that much, apart from saying increase the temp a bit?

I became a member just to learn, and learn a lot I have!

I also found my inner geek, now I'm obsessed!!

Good luck and welcome

Hi, I have been dealing with the dreaded ich too. Rais the water temp to 86 and add salt to the tank you can google how much to add, I have very salt tolerant fish so would not want to advise the amount I have been using all tanks and fish are different. Vacuumed gravel daily and change 30-50% of the water, do this daily until 4 days after you have seen the last spot. There are also ich treatments available I used rid ich plus for the first week but did not find it very helpful as it kills your good bacteria in your filter. Hope this helps you out.
