When I first noticed Ich on two fish in my display tank, I didn’t have access to Cupramine but did have Ich-X. I started treatment in QT a week ago. I’ve been treating every 24 hours and doing 20-50% water changes every 24h (vacuuming well at the bottom). I also have the heat turned up to 84 and lots of aeration.
I’ve since noticed it in a couple more fish and so I’m removing all fish from the display tank for treatment. I’ve also dropped salinity to 1.20.
The fish are eating and swimming well without breathing issues.
I now have Cupramine. I also have a copper testing kit. It seems that Copper treatment is preferred amongst ya’ll.
Am I better off continuing what I started? Or should I switch? And if I do, do I need to do a complete water change to get the ich x out entirely before starting treatment with copper? If treatments are equivalent or close, I’d probably just as soon stick with what I’m doing.
Thanks for your help.
