Help White Spots on my black molly

Angel079

The one's I have, has as 2 named active ing Malachite Green and Formalin in it, since I have no store here, I bought mine at Walmart called QuIck Cure
I diealed up the Temp 4 days ago slowly, then started adding acc to instructions and all spots are almost all gone now (sure in a few days its all gone).
Your Petco or Petsmart will have the stuff, maybe not the same brand but they'll have something against Ick I'm very very sure about that, so just drive out & get some, meanwhile start dialing up the Temp.

Temp is dialed up and im slowly adding table salt..

Ok how often do i add the salt though, i already added it now do i add it again tommorow or is that it???

If you are following the method I use, you can add all of the salt at one time. No more salt needs to be added, unless you do a PWC. Only add the salt that was removed during the water change. If you replaced 10 gallons of water, you will need to replace 2 tablespoons salt.

Ok i started slowly upping the temperature and i added the salt to the tank, i did do a 10% water change so i will have to add more salt. Hopefully i will start seing results soon. Thank you for your help

Table salt is fine. The iodine or additives are a non-issue despite the popular myth against using salt containing such.

for real, so table salt & heat against ich.....why weren't you here when I had my first attack....I had table salt at the house (just no meds and couldn't find any at first)....maybe if i'd have done that my Cardinals would have made it

I think im seing results, Less white spots on my mollys i am continuing treatment though

Angel079

From what I learned so far (and pls someone correct me if wrong, cause I'm totally new to the sickness matter) you're supposed to keep treatment up for 5 days AFTER visible signs on the fish are all gone.

I'm happy its working for you too, watch in a few days they'll be spot free like mine

I hope so, from whati saw i checked the mollys first since their black and well white spots are easy to see, the spots are going away, my one fish who had it really bad mabey has like 1 or 2 little spots left so im excited about that. Treatment is still being continues i think another 2 days of slowly raising the temp, then ill stabalize it for another 3 -5 days should kill the ich completly. Than after ill start lowering the temperature back down slowly to 78
