An Ick Outbreak and Fert Dosing


Recommended Posts

Should I continue feeding my plants with Easy Green while treating my tank with Ick -X?

My tank is heavily planted.

I am making daily partial  water changes  with each Ick-X treatment.

I will continue to feed my fish lightly...I think they need strength to fight the Ick...Do you agree?

thanks

Yes. Just like when humans we tell each other… you need to eat to keep your strength up.  They are burning extra calories with their immune system working to fight the ick. 
 

The fertilizer I would hold off. The short time it takes to cure ick your plants will not starve.  I find ich treatments often slow my bio filter so that puts more readily available nutrients in the water for your plants. 

Good luck I hope your fish recover well.
