On NO i got ICH :(

[methical]

i put the temp up to 30 degrees

how long do i leave it there before i change it back ?

I keep the temps up for two weeks just to be sure but watch the danio's cus they don't always cope too well with the warmer temps. A great article on ich can be found here:

okay i set it to 28 at the moment tommorrow mornign will go 30 then tommorrow night go 32 and then i'll elave it for two weeks


Thanx for the advice hopefully i don't loose any fishies

Don't go as high as 32, 31 should do it. Danios as mentioned b4 don't do well in high temp

i would move the danios to my bigger tank
but i'm afraid they are infected with ich also although i see no visible signs its always a possiblity...

my heater only goes up by increments of 2 but i put it half way so hopefully that is 31

fish aren't doing so good my danios look very stressed and my tetra seems to be getting worse as the one with the bad infection is gasping pretty heavily now not sure how many fish will make it through this ich infection but it dun look too good

What temperature do you currently have the tank set up at and have you provided some additional air to compansate for any temperature rise?

If you have the temps up to 32 degrees then like my previous post said the danios will not cope too well. If this is the case start to bring the temp down by two degrees which will help with the stress.

Here is a link that gives a good explanation of ICH and all the different treatments you can use.

Keep us informed of your progress and I have my figers crossed for the fishys.

i have it set at 31 degrees and i have a bubble wall running to compensate for the temp of the water

it tends to fluctuate between 32 and 31 but its on 31 average

fingers crossed that the danios will pull through coz i don't wanna infect my bigger tank before i can put other fish in it

I'm sorry for your loss I'm not sure what else you can do except maybe if you added the appropriate meds since the higher temp seems to be taking its toll. Also, I was under the impression that salt was needed in the tank to kill off the ich, that the higher temp just hastened the life cycle so they were in the free swimming stage more often. But I could be wrong. I think catfish don't tolerate salt well, though. I'm really not sure what to tell you, except I'm sorry, & goodluck.
