I’m trying to eradicate what seems to be ich been fighting it for a long time last 2 fallow periods have failed. 1st one defo my fault 2nd one not sure what happened but waited 85 days treated my fish with copper and used mollies to check if there was still ich .
However using the copper I didn’t have a accurate test kit so that may be one issue - as well as the mollies just not getting ich even now so that threw me off as I was initially planning to TTM all fish before going into the DT. 2ndly the DT and the hospital tank were right next to each other and so there may have been some aerosol transmission.
This time I am separating the tanks into 2 different rooms. I will remove all fish into a 300L tank that will undergo hyposalinity for 4 weeks as a form of treatment. Then I will watch them for 4 weeks. During this time my DT will be fallow for 8 weeks.
If any spots are seen I will TTM the fishes and put them into the DT.
Now can anyone see any form of flaws in this process please tell me know because if this doesn’t work I’m leaving the hobby I cannot deal with this again.!
Pictures attached are of the fish with ich last time I went fallow. Currently no one looks like they did just a few spots on my blue tang and fox face
