So for sure I can see visible suger sized white specs on my goby and blenny so I take it they have ick. Im going to set up a quarantine tank tomorrow but have a few questions. FIrst heres the steps Ill be taking:
1) Setup 10 gallon tank with displays water.
2) Add small powerhead and heater, also some PVC for hiding.
3) Add fish.
3) Use copper medication.
4) Leave fish in QT for a month.
5) Give fish a quick dip in bucket of SW before returning to display.
So my questions are:
1) I dont really have a sponge filter to get good bacteria in my QT so how do I keep ammonia from building up in it?
2) Is the month duration long enough to rid ich from the display?
3) Should I add all fish to QT even though I believe only two have ich?
4) Any recommended medications?
