HI
I've had very bad experience using chemicals to treat Ick and finrot!:help:
today i have noticed that my fish have white spot again is there a way to rid it without chemicals?
as last time i used them i lost about 8 different fish:headshake2: over a number of weeks...
I read somewhere that you can put a little table salt in the tank?
will this be ok as in my tank i have angel fish, harliquins and a red tail shark.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks Dan :headbang2:
 
I raise temp/salt dose and increase W/C.. This works for my cichlids , hope it works for yours ( my temp is round 85 I have gone to 90 albeit slowly)
 
Thanks for the advice :-)
One more thing i forgot to mention is i also have 2 assasin snails in the tank will the salt kill them?
the medicene i used last time kill 3 of them :-(
Thanks
 
Thanks everyone :)
i Have a 90 ltr tank so how much salt shall i use?
also do i need to take the carbon filter out?
 
Dan, I think 90 ltr = 20 gallons so 4 tablespoons (56.69905 grams ?????). Dont know bout takin out carbon filter
