Treating Ich in goldfish

[GamePlayer No. 1058]

I've read that you can treat ich with aquarium salt in concentrations of
..03% or is that .3%.

Anyway, what I would like to know is, is aquarium salt the same as marine
salt. That is to say the salt in the bags that one can buy in fish stores
that you mix with water to create a sal****er environment or is it something
totally different.
And is treating ich better to treat with the raising of the tank temp and
the .3% salt or to get a product designed for ich from the fish store.

Thanks,

Damn I am really starting to hate petco, this is the last time I go there, I
bought 2 red cap goldfish now that my cycle has finished only to find out
that it looks like one of them has ich, it's tail has a few white spots like
grains of salt on it. I want to catch this early to prevent death.

Thanks again,

No sure about Marine salt to be honest.

The salt dosage is 0.3%.

There is a ich cure remedy that I've never used, but heard it being raved about
on many sites called Quick Cure - try that, otherwise does tank to 0.3, raise
temperature
slowly to 80-84% and turn the lights out. Also consider doing 50% water changes
every day or
other day and gravel vac before the water change.

no, dont use marine salt for GF. and 0.3% is salt concentration for treating ich.
I use the Quick Cure treatment, every other day for 3 treatments with water changes
between. Ingrid
