I thought my problem was solved so I turned down the temperature after a day, bad idea. My two fish, Electric Blue is staying at the top of the tank, occasionally shaking its the back end of its body, and Acei are itching himself against the gravel. I turned the temperature back up the 85. That will be fine for African Cichlids right?

Hi Guppy
Thank you for posting what you have learned about fish, i am going to try what you say works for ick after losing $260.00 of fish. I am hoping it works.

i had an ick situation isolated to just one silver dollar in my 55 gal, i gave him a salt water bath consisting of 1 tablespoon & 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt per water for about half an hour in my hospital tank. after thirty minutes in this bath his symptoms seemed to clear up, and he assumed normal behavior in the large tank. hope my suggestion will help. I was also i religious user of the Rid-Ick product sold at many pet store chains for the prevention of spreading the disease to other organisms in my tank! follow instructions on the package to prevent your other friends from catching the virus among contact.

Okay, now stop trying for post count, just find threads that interest you and post legitamate answers, comments, or questions. Nor as to ich on a blood parrot, they will tolerate the Ich-Away as will the other fish you listed including the plec, just follow the directions on the bottle.
