I am using Rid Ich as an Ich treatment. A 25 percent water change is
recommended before each new dose of the medication. My tap water contains
chloramines. I verified this using a standard dechlorinator then doing an
ammonia test. Amquel+ detoxifies the ammonia but it's label also says it
reacts with malachite green making the Rid Ich medication less useful. I
don't want to further stress the fish by adding ammonia to the tank with the
partial water changes.
Has anyone used Amquel+ for the partial water changes and had success with
Rid Ich or any other Ich medication using malachite green/formalin? Any
other suggestions?
TIA,
Jim
