    Help! White spot on my cichlid, fish looks itchy.

    Hi All, Can I get advice on how to fix this problem? Some of my fish has white spots on them and they seem itchy which make them scrub to the coral sand sometimes. I just noticed the white spots 3 days ago. I have 55 gal with about 20 fishes there mostly male peacocks. I just check the water...

    Is this ich?

    EBJD and BN pleco with Ich

    I picked up 3 EBJD last week and 3 tiny BN plecos. All was fine until my hubby did a wc. The morning after I saw that they were all covered in Ich. I'm assuming temp change during wc caused it? I raised temp and added aquarium salt slowly. (tsp every 3+ hours). I know EBJD are very sensitive...

    What looks like ich, but isn't?

    One of my grow out tanks of baby plecos is covered in bumps and spots. I probably didn't notice it right away because plecos are already speckled, and most of mine are albino. When I did notice it, I figured ich (fairly common with the crazy temp fluctuations lately) and did a 3 day run of...

    I NUKED ICH

    So my 75g started showing signs of ich three days ago... Thanks, fish gods. Anyway, I was carefully measuring teaspoons of salt for my tank when I had a thought, "Why am I doing this??? The more the better!!!!!" I dumped half a can of Morton brand salt into a lee's dip 'n pour container which...

    Uruguay Trip 2014 - Proactive Ich Treatment Plan

    I'm headed back to Uruguay in early Feb 2014 and plan to bring back my full quota of fish (Gymnogeos, chanchitos, pikes, livebearers, cories, plecos, characins, oddballs). Uruguayan fish tend to be pretty hardy but collecting, transporting, shipping and acclimation can be pretty stressful on...

    FML... ICH

    Soooo... no sooner do we add the new fish to the 150 than we wake up to a tank COVERED in ICH. Didn't see it on the fish before we moved them to the 150, didn't see it in the 150 before we moved the new fish there, but nonetheless, it is there. It's a planted 150 gallon. Temp is usually...

    Pike cichlid with ich

    I've had two pikes for the last 3 weeks (1 belly crawler and 1 unidentified), and I just noticed the belly crawler has ich. The ich didn't appear until 2 days ago. Its behavior since I got it for the most part has been normal. It ate a feeder initially and then I got the pikes onto some pellet...

    rainbow shark concern

    ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AMkLHEl27A&feature=youtube_gdata_players Is that what I see on my rainbow ich?? If so how can I cure it naturally? I read that raising the temp to 82 degrees will do the trick, is that true?

    ICH Treatment - Holly's Way

    So you all have been real helpful at helping me treat the ICH in the tank. I have been following Hollys advice. When I looked today there was no visible ICH, but I think one of my juvenile williamsi has doubled in size. The tank has been at 86 degrees since Saturday. How long do I leave it...

    ICH Maybe?

    I noticed on one of my williamsi fry a few white spots on the tail. All the fish including this one are acting fine. I raised the temperature to 86. Is this ICH? If so, will the temp be enough? Will the temp increase hurt the fish or the Pleco? I did not add any fish so I have no idea how I...

    After 15 yrs of aquariums, I finally got ICH!!

    15 years and never had an ich problem. Guess time caught up with me. Apperantly it killed my Elioti before I even noticed it was present. I read through a previous thread that is now closed (Ich in my 150), and I am now crankin up the heat. I added a little more salt, but the salt I use is...

    Delayed ich?

    We look to be having an out reak of ich, the infected fish is anew one.. But we quarantined for a month and nothing appeared a miss. Anything else we should be looking for or concerned about?

    Ich in my 150!

    Dangit! I've been so careful with this tank - quarantining everything that went in and hitting it with some pretty aggressive water changes and I noticed ich on some of my S. daemon last night. Only thing I can guess that happened is that I brought it in from another tank (where it was...
