I've been battling what I'd suspect as ich for a while now, and lost almost all my fish.
The only 3 survivors are
- Hippo tang (clear white spot signs )
- File Fish (no visual spots)
- Snowflake clown (no visual spots)
I've tried the following treatments consecutive:
Colombo Femsal
20 days hyposalinity
Colombo Cobrasal
Cupramine (currently day 26 at 0.54 +, verified with Hanna checker daily)
However the white spots do not diminish at all on the hippo, and I assume the others are infected as long as the hippo is not clean. Below are some pics of the hippo tang before and after 26 days in Cupramine 0.54+ (with peak values at 0.60, checked daily with a Hanna checker).
As Cupramine is going on for 26 days now without any visual improvements, I'm lost. Am I maybe dealing with something other than Ich, a copper resistant strain, or am I not patient enough?
