That's an odd question. Do you suppose I took the cories out of their tank and spanked them for bad behaviour and then they got Ich? :lol:

It's not my tank, I am posting for my boyfriend, but as far as I know he does his tank maintence, I test his water weekly and he changes it weekly.

As for Ich ...

Well, there's a few different cories in there. Let's see, pandas, metae, aneus, swartzi, pygmeus, and pepper cories.

We've read that this is lethal to cories. We don't want to kill them! Are there any other options?

I have a planted tank with cories and two angelfish. The poor cories have Ich. I have added a bit of salt and thought about raising the temps. I also added a bit of garlic (this seems to be in the in thing with fish medication.) What can I do? No methyl blue, no malachite green. What are my options ...
