While on vacation, I got a phone call from a friend that was sure ich / ick has taken over my tank. There's a thin white coat over everything--from the walls, to the plants, to my scale-less catfish. Is it ick?
Anyway, she cleaned out some of the water + got some of the white off of what she could, and then ran over to the pet store for some meds, which said to raise the heat by a couple degrees to help it work. Unfortunatly, the next day I got another phone call saying that one of my catfish didn't make it, since the medication takes a couple days to take effect.
When I get home later today, what should I do? Should I replace some of the water, all of the water, or just let the medication work? Is there anything I can do to keep it from happening again?
Any other advice you could give me would me most appreciated...
