Neons with ich

[ElPasoSiren]

I noticed today that my 6 neon tetras have ich. I have never had any fish with ich before,so i wanted to know what kind of medicine i should get to treat them.

I used to live in El Paso...

So how's the weather right now? :D

Um, I'm currently treating my tank for ich, though not with any medicine. I caught it early though, before all my fish got "spots", and none of them since I started treatment have come down with it any worse. What was recommended to me and I recommend to you is to try raising the temperature and using salt before any medication. The method for raising the temperature and how to go about adding salt is explained under my post about ich at the link below:

Hopefully that will help you... Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I will do the salt treatment first like you recommended. So far only my neons have it.

As for the weather,it was windy a couple of days ago,but now it's nice and sunny and not as cold. Since you use to stay here,you know how the weather changes from day to day:p .

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to you too!

Hope your fish make it through the ich okay!
