I cant win with this tank help!!

#21
Hi Joeyb1731, is the Ick still gone? I've read throught the posts, after the fact. I've never had Ick any any tank before but I read that is is caused when fish get stressed. So I'm just wondering if you had reviewed your tank setup and maintenance schedule with anyone (just in case it would help prevent Ick or anything else in the future).

To my knowledge, some reasons that fish get stressed include: water conditions, incompatibilities with other fish, lack of hiding places.

Yea bigfish, I am pretty sure the reason 4 ich was that my fish were stressed. Because of the length of my ammonia spike I had to stop doing water changes to allow my tank to cycle. That was wen the ich showed up. So I'm pretty sure it was the stress from that
