Default Clown Loaches--sick?

"Koi-Lo" wrote in

I'm considering 2 or 3 clowns now that the stores have a fresh new
supply in. What is the BEST and SAFEST product in your opinion should
they come down with ick in the quarantine tank? I use Quick-Cure for
other fish but loaches are sensitive.... any suggestions?


I use Quick-Cure as well, but I half the dosage for loaches. The key for
getting rid of ich on loaches is calming them down before the infection
gets severe. If you can put the loaches at ease in their environment the
infection usually disappears within three days depending on how early you
observe the parasite.

The only fish that I've seen have a bad reaction to Quick-Cure, even at a
1/4 dose, are the electric fishes like knives.
