Hi - first time visiting the site. I have an AQ3 56L aquarium with 3 Clown Loaches 4 Zebra Danio 6 Neon Tetra 5 Glowlight Tetra 3 Red Eye Tetra 1 Pleco I have recently had an Ich infection show up on most of my fish. I am currently treating with King British White Spot Control meds but am worried about my loaches. Some sites advise adding salt - can anyone tell me if this will harm my loaches? Have upped the temp in the tank to 28 degrees but not sure what else I can do??? Any help appreciated Sponsored links

increasing the temp is good, it will shorten the lifespan of the parasites. When you add salt it is only in a very small dose so your loaches should be fine.Finnish the course of white spot treatment first as you don't want to be trying two different things at once. http://www.fishtankforum.co.uk

Most of the fish seem to be clearing the Ich but the loaches are def having a hard time
