BAT Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 One of my new tetras has white spots. See video. See ember tetra. Is it ok to isolate 1 tetra in quarantine to treat? The plant has snails and plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitstuk Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I would isolate and treat it with aquarium salt and medication.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 If one of your tetras has ich the overs will have been exposed what I would is treat with all the fish ick x and add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table for 5 gallon as ich causes massive electrolyte loss salt at that level shouldn't harm your plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAT Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Thanks all! I have done the IchX in the tank and added 1:5 salt. And we are down to 1 spot on the baby tetra. How long should I treat? Tonight will begin day 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Continue to treat 3-7 days after the last visible signs of ick on a fish, due to life cycle of the parasite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAT Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 @quikv6 i am replacing 1/3 of the water before each dose of IchX right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Yes, I believe that is what the directions said. It's a bit of a pain, but you'll get through it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
