Restocking my 55
My 55 gallon loach tank just got decimated by an ich outbreak, and now all thats left is a common pleco(just my luck the fish that I was going to return survived). Anyway, I'm ready to get some new fish. How do I clean it out so that no ich is left?I don't want to have to cycle it again. Also, I want to restock it with loaches. What should I get? I'm thinking yoyos, maybe kubotai, and If I can find any, a sinibotia species. Any suggestions?
My loaches:
5 kubotai
5 almorhae
5 kuhli
5 zebra
1 aborichthys

You could leave your 55 empty of fish for a while to kill off any remnants of the ich, you could then transfer the contents of your 26 into the 55 and then add to your current collection and then clone your 55 to re-setup your 26 and maybe keep some slightly smaller species like Y. Sidthimunki, B. Striata or even Zipper Loaches.

14 loach species bred, which will be next?
Ive been keeping fish for over 3 years, Ive actually treated ich before, but This time it just wouldn't go away. Might have been a resistant strain or somthing because it wasn't reacting to the treatment at all...if anything it was slowing down the spread of it.
