Pim pictus with ich

mrh · Post by **mrh** » 30 Nov 2005, 22:53

I didn't quarantine for long enough ...

All the info I can find says that they're prone, but not to use the regular meds.

Any recommendations ... please?

Other fish in the tank : corys (skunk, adolfi, julii), dwarf red honey gourami, black and white skirt tetras, black neon tetras, bosemanis, and a mussel. Water parameters are all well and good.

Help very, very much appreciated.

The treatments outlined here should work with P. pictus.

and a mussel.

before raising the temperature check out which type of freshwater mussel you have. some native British freshwater mussels may not tolerate a high temperature, so it may well be advisable to remove the mussel from the tank prior to raising the temperature.

Silurus,
The suspense is killing me! I read that entire post, whatever became of those cats? Did the temp hike and meds prevail? Just curious. I appologize for going off topic.

Thankyou for getting back to me so quickly.

I'll remove the mussel, hike the temperature, find a blanket, and try to get some King British.

Thanks again!

It seems to have worked ... no spots, and no fatalities.

Many thanks, guys.
