Has anyone had success in treating ich with only heat at 86 degrees?
Hi there,
been live cycling 100 gal planted tank with external eheim filter for about 2 months now. This will eventually be a Discus tank. I have schools of scissor tails and rummy nose tetras, 5 corydoras, 3 small loaches and 5 siamese algae eaters. Over the last couple days I noticed one of my Rummy nose had a couple of points... ich! The others are still fine, except for one of the loaches who has been scratching in the gravel. I had to look really closely but he has them. I have always had my tank at 28 celcius, but have it now at 86 degrees F. I had ich in my 14 gal before and the meds never did work, only two of my fish made it through. Before I get discus, I have now learned my lesson and will quarantie for at least 2 weeks before I introduce them. Right now things look good in my tank but with my experience I know they will get worse! Has anyone here had success with simply raising the temps, no salt or meds, and will the high temps bother my other fish at all? Thanks
