Treating ICK With Temperature & Salt

[tylergvolk]

The ICK is back... This time it's in my 10 gallon tank. I lost a pleco already and my other 4 Platy's are still alive.

I started raising the temperature this morning from 74F-80F. By tomorrow I will have it up to 85F where I will keep it for 10 days.

I did a 50% water change today, and plan to do this daily for 1 week.

Also, I added 2 tablespoons of aquarium salt to the tank.

This is my first attempt to treat ICK with salt and temperature only...

Am I doing this correctly?

Here's the kicker, this morning when I noticed the ICK I also notice that my Platy's had fry. I trapped 13 in a floating breeder trap.

Any suggestion at all?
