CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

well i think that, my con's have ick. I was watching them and they were like running thier sides in to the rocks and wood in the tank. my buddy says that's what they do when they have ick . but there are no sign's of ICK
My Question is can i use tablew salt in the tank .
and if i can the rulew of thumb for a 135GAL TANK

Well I have used table salt with no ill effects but others will say only to use aquarium salt.

Use 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons and raise your temp to 84f for 7 days. This is a very effective and safe way of getting rid of ick and cheap.

Thnaks tony
i will try it talk to you later man...

i've heard bad things about table salt, so i havent really tried using it. the reason y they dont recommend it is b/c of the iodine in it. anyways, rock salt is pretty cheap (at least here) its about a dollar to a pound.
