Default Rid-Ich+ and hypo

Hey I asked this question on my thread "Ich Journey" but I need a quick answer and figured I would get a little more attention here then on a 2 page 40 post novel.

Can I use the product Rid-Ich+ with hyposalinity treatment. That is what my LFS owner instructed me to do since my Ich has come back in my hypo tank, now going on the third week.

Peace, Poppinthekap

To keep the answer short and simple - NO. The only two proven methods that are guaranteed to work every time if done properly are copper and hyposalinity. Mixing other chemicals with either method can kill the fish.

Unfortunately Alex mixing advice is as bad as mixing chemicals. Make a decision how you should treat the fish based on what you currently know and some one you trust.

After that...be patient....be very patient my friend.

Did you read the articles we gave you on Hyposalinity and the Ich parasite?
