Help! ich in community tank
Posted: 16 Feb 2012, 19:02
First thing first, here is my tank info:
1. Water parameters
a) 72 degree.
b) 7.8ph.
c) unknown
d) unknown
e) Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0.
f) 20%~30% weekly water change
2. Tank set up
a) 45 gallon community tank.
b) black sand.
c) tetrao HOB filter, rated for 30-60 gallon tank.
d) mediumly planted.
e) this tank has been setup for 4 months.
So I have 6 neon tetra, 2 rummy nose tetra, 2 oto and 9 cory habrosus. Just a few days ago, I introduce 7 emerald green corys. This morning I noticed there are small white dots on the tetras but I havn't noticed anything on corys. Right now I am planing to raise the temperature. But habrosus likes temperature on the "cool" end, to what temperature should I go? Are they able to withstand 82 or even 84 degree water? I don't plan to use any medication at the moment, but will try if things get worse.
What's your suggestions. Would like to hear from you guys.
