let say the tank already has salt but don't know how many.. how do you count how much salt is in there?

can my lima shovelnose, rtc, albino channel cat, and clown knife handle the salt dosage and heat for treating ich?

I just treated my 40 breeder for my baby datnoids... as soon as i put the salt treatment in, 3 of my baby pbass swam like crazy for a minute then sank to the bottom and died

I dont want to kill my pleco, I have the salt to 0.02% how long should I leave it in? My heater broke and wont heat but its about 70 more like 75..

Any answers would be appreciated!

The fish are doing well, even the bad platy has came back and eats and chases the other fish like he isnt sick..

You'll need another 10 days of continuing the treatment after ich disappears. Get a functioning heater so you can avoid prolonging the treatment period.

I can't remember the active ingredients however as most ich meds do contain formalin and malachite green, both products can potentially destroy beneficial bacteria.
