My First Breakout Of ICH

Well, last night I lost two fish to Ich plus my frog. One tetra and one black moor one African Dwarf Frog. It is really noticeable on my larger moor and developed in a matter of days. I did some research and seem to have the definative cure for Ich and will share both the information and the results here. Basically you are in for a week long burden (That will teach you to not quantine your newly acquired fish for two weeks, it taught me).

First my explaination here is much shorter than you can find on the web but I get the point across. If you want to learn more in depth information just google.

Now to cure ich will take about $15 worth of Kordon Rid-Ich+ medication for a 55gallon, about $4 for a smaller tank and de-chlorinator.

Here is the deal:

• Do not raise water temp as most sites tell you, it is unneccesary with the meds I indicate and will stress your fish out even more.
• Just becuase one fish has ich does not mean all of them will have it, it just depends on each individuals health (so don't panic)
• You will need to do 25% water changes everyday for 7 days
• You will need to remove your carbon filters during this entire time
• You will need de-chlorinator for the water changes

Now just add 5ml of Rid-Ich+ per 10 gallons everyday for 7 days right after a 25% water change. This will get rid of the disease in the tank, off the plants and off the fish. Stick to the 7 days even if there are no more signs of ich on the fish as ich can still live in the water on on other things while off your fish (think fleas here, off the dog and in the carpet).

Done. Simple. Ich Free.
