I went fish shopping today and bought a rubber lip pleco. Since ich was out of my life for a long time, I've grown use to not look at the fish CLOSELY for ich. I took the rubber lip and put it in my tank and found out that it had some white dots on it....and i said....

OH GOD.

What are my options? Remove the pleco?

But I'm thinking, I only have that pleco, 5 amanos and 4 malaysian rainbows. They should be able to tolerate it and wait it out right? Not too sure. I'll be watching that tank closely and hopefully the white spots will go away.

I've never seen ich spots so small than the one I saw today.

Ok...it has gotten a lot worse on the pleco but my angels are resisting it greatly. However, I need to treat this, so I'm going to raise my levels to 85. Today i'll get it to 82 maybe. 85 tomorrow. Wish me luck guys.

temp is slowly getting to 85

my amanos look really shakey with the temp that high and the fish are def getting a lot more active. I will inject some sort of medicine tomorrow.

I took the fish that were infected out (just the pleco) and it's still alive recovering I think. But will know for sure a month down the line.
