First Oto with Ich: Questions before treatment

15 August 2007 - 11:12 PM

Hi, new here. Sorry it isn't under better circumstances.

1. I have two meds now that I haven't used yet. Methylene blue and Jungle Fungus Clear. I know MB can be used against ich, I've seen the JFC ingredient, nitrofurazone, listed in a few other brands of ich treatment. Which one would you pick?

2. I think I'll be dosing M1+M2 along side to prevent bacterial infection, or should I use the JFC for that? Edit: I just remembered I have Kanamycin soaked spirulina pellets I could feed him, maybe that's enough for bacterial prevention?

3. Obviously, I can't use salt, do any of these meds require smaller doses for scaleless fish? Any med combos here you would avoid?

4. I've read a bit about the ich life cycle, should I warm the tank and wait a day or two for treatment?

Thanks in advance -J
