I have an Blue African Chiclid and he has Ick.It looks like the other Chiclids in my tank have bitten out his left eye ...Should I allow him to heal or take care of it myself before the other fish rip him to shreads
All your other fish will probably soon get Ick.
OP here -- I have a Ick treatment in my tank, my other fish have no signs of the illness ... what should I do about my Blue African?
>>313218How the hell should I know. If you have a separate tank or something I'd put it in there until its better.
Slowly raising the temperature of the tanks speeds up the ick parasites life cycle(getting it to the stage where the medication kills it), and I also hear that adding some aquarium salt will help. Just google Ick treatment.
If you have a quarantine tank, I'd definitely put him in there.
