My sister have some oranda goldfish that has ich. I was wondering do you treat them with meds since you can't do the temp & salt or can I do just the salt?
Three days does not erradicate ich from the tank. Please read this article:KingOfTheDeep said:you can either do the salt methos, of buy an ICH medicine, my moms oranda has ich a few weeks ago it was gon within 3 days after using aquarium phamaceuticals super ich cure
Yep. It's salt that kills the ich, not the heat. The heat only speeds up the cycle, so make sure you treat with salt long enough.tha cichlid man said:She have air in the tank but no heater can I still do the salt methed?
this is absolutely incorrect. in fact, the ich parasite is in virtually ALL tanks, all the time, including those with apparently healthy fish. when fish are stressed, they lose they're inherant resistance to disease both pathogenic and parasitic and succumb to the already present parasites/pathogens .. in this case ich.In other words, poor water quality can cause a lot of troubles, but ICH is not one of them. ICH comes in from another tank whether in LFS water, on a new fish or plant.
No, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask that of you.this is absolutely incorrect. please read up on the disease process of the ich parasite before you dispense incorrect information.
