Ick in planted tank!

[lovleeko]

Oh well this was so smart! I was so worried about getting plants and killing them all. Well the plants seem to be doing great. Even the red ludwigia. I just transplanted everything becuase I hated the way it looked. Anyway, I bought new fish for the tank since I had none for it. Of course I just put them in since they all came from the same place and there was no chance of them infecting any of my established fish. Anyway, didn't think about what a pain it would be to treat an outbreak in a planted tank!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so dumb. And I did not clean the python when going from tank to tank! I'm so smart:help: This sucks!! I'm trying to device a plan of action.

What exactly is the problem? Just turn the heat up to 32C and leave it there until 48 hours after all the spots are gone.

I haven't read about to much success with heat alone.

I've used heat 4-5 times with excellent success. Gone in two days, lower the temp two days later, never had a recurrence.

Okay, thank you I'll try that

I'll double vote for the heat only treatment. It works, just toss a bubbler into the tank before you ramp things up.
