Clown loach ich....again...

my clown loach got a suddan infestation of ich. as in all over not just one or two spots, now as most know they are scaless fish so i cant use regular megication. what ich stuff can i use?

 

I would just try raising the temp and adding a bit of salt to the water. This is probably safer than most meds and just as effective too. Good luck!

 

Don't add salt with scaleless fish.

Rid Ich+ is supposed to be safe for scaleless fish. There's one other med that's safe, but its name escapes me right now.

hmm thanks ill try that rid ich thing. yeah i wouldnt do the water and salt thing for any of my fish, the temp distorts them.

 

thanks everyone. im going to go to petsmart and check to see if they have anything.

 

i think you will be fine with a chemical as long as it doesn't have copper in it

 

yup, thanks for the help, im now trying tank buddies ich clear.

 

good stuff

 

the ick is clearin up!

 

That's good to hear. Remember to continue treating the tank for about 4 or 5 days after the last spot has disappeared.

good point thanks, i like this stuff because it goes everywhere in the fish tank so it can kill all the ick. it even works on plants.
