*I’m new here- first time posting and new to this hobby*
I had an ich outbreak in my tank. It came from a fish that I had purchased from Petco. It infected my entire tank, and the new fish died within two days. I treated with ich x after doing almost a complete water change. My goldfish seem to be doing slightly better today, however..my Japanese algae eater seemed extremely stressed, lost his golden color and I found him dead today.
I also have noticed my two spotted raphael cats surface swimming? Coming out during the day which is extremely odd behavior. I have barely seen them in the year I’ve had them.
I immediately panicked and did almost another complete water change and replaced the filter inserts. The cats are still alive but so lethargic. And still sitting out in the open. My heart is broken. I am so worried that I’m going to lose them both. What should I do next? I have not dosed ich-x since the most recent water change today. Although ich-x has no copper in the ingredient and says it’s safe for scaleless fish such as catfish and algae eaters. My water parameters will not be a correct reading due to all of the water changes the past three days. I will get a pic of my cats when I get home this evening from work. I hope someone has some experience. I’ve combed through the internet and Reddit searching for any advice, and I’m not finding much 😔
