Emerald crab, hot water

[BadFish619]

I'm wondering if turning my temp up in an effort to speed up the ich cycle will kill my crabs? Wanting to turn up to high 80s possibly 90

The correlation between ich and temperature is not completely linear unlike some other parasites. Other factors influence the lifecycle.

Studies show that the lifecycle is only slightly accelerated in temps between 70 and 90F, measured in hours.

I certainly wouldn’t intentionally go above 85 for too long.
