struttinsoul Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hi guys, does it look like this pea puff has Ich? Noticed some white spots on him so wondering if I should treat the tank, have 6 pea puffs, some cherry shrimp and some Otto's in here. Ignore the floaties in the water, just cleaned the tank and also have some brine shrimp in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The spot are raised so that not ich possible epistylis that feeds off of gram negative bacteria on the slime coat of your fish and spreads more quickly at higher temperatures the most effective treatment is maracyn2 in food feeding a small amount twice a day for 7 days and dose the tank with ick X if you can't get them to eat the medicated food I would dose the tank @struttinsoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struttinsoul Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Thanks for the reply @Colu sadly we can't get most of that stuff up here in Canada, will rid Ich or Ich x still deal with it? I've got that on hand and also some anti parasite stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) If you can't get an antibiotic treatment ick X and aquarium salt would be the recommended treatment 1 table spoon for 5 gallon is highest level of salt I would use with pea puffers as they are sensitive to salt that's not as effective at that level of aquarium salt what the active ingredient in your parasite medication @struttinsoul Edited March 22 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
