Ich salt Rx and Cory Cats, Oto Cats

[lauraj]

There is SO much info on here about Ich Rx with aquarium salt, that I could be reading for hours to find the answer to my one question. Could someone please help?

Have had tanks for over 2 years now and experiencing Ich for the first time. Bought a new fish yesterday and did not quarantine first. This fish now showing signs of Ich.

I have all the info I need about Rx with aquarium salt and temp increase.

MY QUESTION IS....will the salt harm my plants (wisteria, red ludwigia, java fern, and anubia), Cory Cats and Oto Cat??

Thanks!

Sorry to be a pest, but the spots are mutiplying on the new Mollie and I need some advice soon.

All I've done for now is turn up the temp.

Some plants don't like salt. I'm not sure about the cories and ottos. I would quarantine the molly and do an ich treatment. If you don't have a quarantine tank, buy a cheap 2 gallon or so tank.

I have anubias, java fern, & otos. I keep 1Tsp/5gal aquarium salt in my tanks and they do just fine. My LFS says they keep 1Tsp/5gal salt in all their freshwater tanks.
