Ichy question

[generaltoaster]

All my fish just got ich and died.
I am sad but mainly concerned for my snowflake eel. Since eels do not have scales, are they susceptible to ich? Should I be worried? If so, what steps should I take?

 

[scuzy]

ich is attacks the gills as well so yeah you should be worry. You can do tank transfer method if you don't want to medicate. Copper or Chloroquine phosphate will take out the ich. you should also let your tank go fallow for 8 weeks 12 weeks. I went 10 weeks myself.

I did almost 2 months left fallow on mine when I got Ich from fish I bought from one of the LFS near me before. Now I run intank UV, feed with garlic and vita C to keep the fishy's healthy and happy. Especially if you don't have a QT.
