ich resolution: the end of the story
Well, I thought I would provide this update. As you know I have been working on getting rid of the ich in my 29 gallon tank for about a month now. For the past couple of weeks I have used full strength rid ich (at first I used half, then three quarter strength without success), temp of 82F and daily...

Things are FINALLY looking ( a little) up! Both are BETTER, but the little guy is still pretty ich-ful. Regardless, he/she is eating well, very active, and inseparable from the larger loach. The two, scavenge the pebbles relentlessly, and will come to the surface for micropellets! I have been giving...

Well, I have taken all the ornaments out, as well as the live plants. I also have QUITE a lot of aeration in the form of a large bubble device and an extra large power filter which provides surface agitation. I did make the mistake of turning down the temp to 80 (the raspora were looking tired). The...

loaches with ich
Thanks, I have already decided NOT to go back to that fishstore, but in the meantime.... I am surprised that it can take WEEKS to treat ich *what a greenie). I am TOTALLY willing to do what it takes to get my two loaches well again. I am going to continue the rid-ich, will back off on the water chan...

loaches with ich
I am new to the hobby ...about 3 months, and have a 29 gallon tank I fell in love with clown loaches after the local fishstore sold me one as an algae eater (....oh, it won't get very big and will hide most of the time) I know, I should have RESEARCHED the fish, but I am learning.... anyway, I have ...
