Jokes on me... Ich round 2!

izzyishh · Mar 6, 2020

So back in November I lost all my fish to ich and bacterial infections except 3. I pulled out the fish and treated them let the tank FALLOW also treated the empty tank with Rally and Kick Ich just because.

Fast Forward 12 weeks

Added the 3 fish back and continued to restock. Tank is looking fantastic until this Monday when I got home from work I noticed a "new fish"........ it was a yasha goby that had disappeared back in September (thought it died)................................... Fast forward to yesterday guess what My skunk tile fish have ich

. I played my self. One is still eating like a pig and the 2nd one is mehh.

Wish me luck

It happens and being frank I have 0 time to catch fish set up QT and all that SHIIIIIII so I have begun to treat with Kick Ich soaking food in garlic and order some selcone so we shall see who knows may just be stress induced added a purple tang on Tuesday.

It's not stress induced. It's in the system still because the fallow period failed due to 1 fish not being found / removed. It will continue to live in the system until the correct fallow period is followed and all fish are properly treated (Copper, CP, or TTM). Then everything wet going into the system must be QT'ed also to prevent reintroduction of parasites.

Got home just now all spots gone on one of the tile fish other one has maybe 5 spots. But I can assure you in not going Fallow again and dont have room nor energy to set up a QT for all these fish so nature will have to play its course

That’s unfortunate. I have a bout with velvet last year and had to take the tank apart and replace sand to find a sleeper blenny that was hiding. I feel your pain
