I've bought API Aquarium Salt, and I'd like to know how much to add to the tank, how large of a water change I should do and how often, and what I should set the temperature at. This Ich outbreak is fairly new, just noticed it today.
Tank Size: 28 gallon bowfront.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrates: 10-20
Temperature: ranges between 78 and 85 without a heater.
Previous Illness: One female betta with fin rot. She's recovering well with water changes.
Time: Tank has been set up for roughly a month. Cycled before fish were added.
Inhabitants: 11 Cherry Barbs, 5 Peppered Corys, 1 Female Betta.
Deaths: This morning I found my sixth Peppered Cory dead sucked to the intake of my second filter. He had no signs of Ich or other disease, but had a large wound on his underside. He was the smallest Cory.
