| Two are blue shusui, about 6 inches. One is a mix kikokyru he is about the same size. They have their own 55 gallon I was using for the winter and did salt treatments and such before in there. I put them in a 20 gallon for the Life Guard treatment because I could not afford the cost to treat the 55 gallon with it.
The bumps start off small and white kind of cloudy, they get big overnight and 'pop'. You can see lil white grains usually just one or two. Then it clears up by the next day. Then they have the white grains elsewhere on their tail. They eat like pigs still and are active. I give them a slice of orange every other day, the really like it.
Should I find someone to scrape them to find out if this is ick before putting them through another treatment with quick cure? Or will salt and quick cure handle most parasites? I can get a microscope no problem, would one from Target or Wal-Mart work? I just don't know if I'd know what I'm looking at. I'm a computer programmer with no biology experience. |
