I looked for the supplements you recommended but they did not have them. I will have to go out tomorrow and find a better place that will have those. My LFS is over an hour away. I only go there to get the fish. I try to get the dry supplies elsewhere if I can.
You say to let the sponge sit in the main tank for about a week. Can the fish stay in the main tank that long untreated while the sponge soaks up the good bacteria? I don't know much about ich but how long can they have it? Can they hang on a week or more till the sponge is ready for the Qt tank?
If your fish are not showing visible signs of ich, they are most likely fine. You have time.
And yes, I was definitely the one who recommended the foods. That's good you got the formula foods. They are wonderful. Give your fish time, they will like them. How are you adding them to your tank? Do you let them dissolve in a cup of tank water before you add them? This is how I would recommend feeding them.
Now it sounds like you are on the right track to feeding a healthy diet!!
:joy:
If you want a link to get those supplements very cheap online, send me an email. It will probably be much cheaper than your LFS, and then you can save the trip. The best way to go is to compare prices. Call your LFS, and then compare the price on the website.
