Hey everyone.
Two weeks ago I bought 3 clown loaches. A day after adding them to my 10 gallon quarantine tank, all 3 got ich. I raised the temp to 86 degrees and used half the dosage of Quick Cure (1 drop for every 2 gallons). That didn't work as last one died Tuesday night.
Here's where I need advice and help. I just found a deal and am getting 5 clown loaches this evening. The quarantine tank is still running and I did a 50% WC last night. It probably still has a little bit of Quick Cure remaining in the water. Can I add the new Clown Loaches to this tank even though the last ich-infected loach left the tank 2 days ago? Wouldn't ich have died off since it didn't have a host for the past 2 days? I'll do another 50% WC before I add the loaches.
Please advise since I'm getting the new loaches in a few hours.
Oh . . . my other option is adding them to a 20 gallon that has about 10 demasoni all under an 1".
