Hello, (and sorry for starting up another ich thread)
I have read through several threads regarding ich and I'm still having a bit of trouble figuring out what I want to do, even though I've started treatment.
I bought 2 Blue Rams and 15 Cardinal Tetras from my LFS last week. I put them in the 10 Gallon quarantine tank once I got home and 2 days later I noticed that the 2 rams had ich.
I have a main 300L tank and I had ich with my pearls and clowns and treated the tank for it with Protozin (1/2 doses) and got rid of the ich after 2 weeks, and all of the fish are doing GREAT now, swimming so good and looking really healthy. So to not disrupt my main tank I bought a quarantine tank.
My question is, should I not use Protozin, and because I've already started and on my second day, is it bad to stop the meds and try salt treatment like I've read from other posts. The Protozin worked last time for me, but I've read that meds can be quite harmful on the fish and I'm not sure about the rams and how they'll respond. They seem to be doing okay at the moment.
Also should I leave my cardinals in the tank with the rams as I'm treating them. I don't have any other tanks besides my main 300L tank so i'm not sure what to do. Any ideas on treatments and anything else would be awesome. I raised the temp to 82.
