| Nothing discus likeit hot ich hates the heat. If you only have discus bring the heat up to 86-90F yes 90F is fine for discus in fact mine just spawning in my hot tank.
Heat alone will take care of ich. I also use coppersafe bring the temp up should be good enough for a not so bad case. If it's bad you can bring heat up and add coppersafe 1.5ppm-2.0ppm this will knock it out fast and hard works every time for me.
But try the heat only first. Daily water changes of 80% and 86-90f will do it. | |
