Hey i just started my tank and my new fish have ich. Ive raised the temp to 84-85 and have added the recommended amount of salt as described in many websites to fight ich.
I didnt use copper because i intend to keep shrimp, snails and crayfish in the near future.
In the marine world copper is a no no becuase even after u remove with carbon, copper media, and water changes a small amount stays behind enough to kill inverts.
Im assuming the same goes for freshwater.
My questions are will high temps and salts be enough to cure ich.
Or must i use copper. And if copper is used will i ever be able to keep inverts later on?
