BLASK
Fish Fanatic
got a 20gal with 3 tux platies all showing symptoms of ich, one has a really small white dot on back fin, all 3 are rubbing against leaves of plastic plants, suction cups and the gravel, showing irregular swimming patterns, all have been at the very top for the past 2 days. ( i introduced a sunset platy and it was really aggresive towards them so i returned her)
should i just use ich medication in the tank or quarrantine - i dont have a seprate tank only 5 gal buckets i could use with a heater and water changes?
the tank mates are 2 albino cory platys that seem fine and 2 khuli loaches that also seem fine
i think my tank has finnaly bugun to cycle since ammonia was dropping from 6ppm down to 3ppm, nitrite 4ppm, nitrate 5ppm ph 7.4
their fins are clamped and it looks like they are just dragging their tail + fins
but then they extend all their fins from time to time - they are being really weird, i mean they are like 1.29$ fish - all this stress im getting is not worth it
should i just pour the med in the main tank and destroy the bacteria im starting ??
help!
(also have been doing water changes 10 to 30%)
