Image 1 male, Bullet, 2 females, Bug and DJ. I relized that Bullet had a piece of ich on his tailfin today. (I got them on Friday) My tank is around 82 degrees F but simetimes gets up to 82. I put a small pinch of aquarium salt in today. I'll do very frequent water changes. Will this get rid of his ich? I can't use meds on puffers, right? :scared: :crying2: :lilhelp: I don't want them to :rip: !!

It does run it's cycle & may not get any worse. I see a spot here & there on some of my fish on occasion. I haven't treated for it in >20 years.

Read the article in the Library on ich. That should help a lot.
