Help, 40 litre tank has a ich (ichthyophtyirius multifiliis) / white spot outbreak. We've been able to separate the few surviving neon tetra into an emergency quarantine tank, with appropriate medicine for the fish. We had done this as we had noticed the issue practically too late as we miss identified the white spots as cotton mouth (which the tetra also have). We luckily quarantined the fish from the tank as the ich reached its second stage as most have matured and abandoned the fish. This has become an issue as even if the neon tetra do not survive the treatment, I cannot re-add them to the tank and I don't want to keep the tank's environment full of parasites. Thankfully ich seem to not be able to effect the shrimp but the medicine we have for them is toxic to the shrimp and the plants in the tank, hence the separating of the neon tetra. I was wondering if there was anything I can do to the tank while the shrimp are still in the tank, as removing them isn't a viable option. We've been trying to get the temp of the tank to 30C and leaving it at that temp for an hour, however the tank's heater is verry slow and doesn't seem to be going up past 27C. From what I've searched 30C should kill of the ich without irritating the bloody mary shrimp too much (too many websites vary their recommended temp, so i wouldn't keep it above 28C long if we were able to get it that high) If anyone knows if there are any ich treatments or methods of killing ich that are safe for invertebrates and potentially plants I would love if they could suggest one.

Hi, today I've noticed this specific shrimp hanging on to the floating plant today. It was there when I fed the fish at 7:30, still there when I came home at 1pm and is still there as I'm posting. There is a second smaller shrimp, it was there when I got back, but is moving between the plants. Yesterday we did a water change with some medicine for cotton mouth for the neon tetra in the tank, so it might be that that is causing the shrimp to be irritated. Water tests seem to come up fine but the test kit we have isn't easy to understand. Otherwise I'm unsure why these shrimp are doing this. other shrimp seem to be fine, with the biggest one swimming and moving about as they usually do. Would love if anyone knows why they would be doing this? IT WAS THE MEDICINE. phenoxyethanol can make fish and shrimp drowsy and a bit sluggish. May have even irritated the ma bit due to not removing the carbon from the filter, not allowing the medicine to work properly.

I want to buy the best and the best only. Serious buyer! I want 100 at least. If you can't provide 100 I will take what I can as long as it's high grade.
