Re: [APD] treating ich in medication sensitive fish
A year ago, I had a massive ich-festation in my clown loaches (milder in the
other fish) because of a heater failure. Knowing their sensitivity to
medications, I moved all the fish to a bare tank immediately and raised the temp
to 85. I filtered it with a whisper hang on. In the meantime I readied
another tank with a filter and adjusted the water to 85 also. As soon as the fish
lost most of their white spots I transferred them all to the second bare
tank.This removed the fish from the free swimming stage of the parasite. Then I
bleach sanitized the first bare tank and set it up the same way. Only a
few spots showed up that time and the fish were now behaving better. I
repeated it again, and the fish were cured. I still have them. No medication was
used at all.
