What cause fleas contained by tropical fish?
Answers: Stress which cause the fish's immune system to shut down and fail which leaves them surrounded by a position of being attacked by a parasite. Also which can lead to parasites is impossible water competence. Make sure you change your river. What you have is Ich. Ich is cause by both stress and bad river quality. Oh, and Ich could be transmitted by your fish store. The fish may be strong and nourishing in the petstores reservoir, but when it was taken out and put surrounded by a bag, he get stressed and scared which lowered his immune system and near the ich water, ich latched onto him.
So here is what you do!
Put your electric fire up to 81F. Add AQUARIUM salt. 1 tbsp per 5 gallons of wet. Do NOT use table salt. Table saline has iodine which will damage fish. Wait about a week and consequently do a 30% water conveyance along with a VERY pious gravel vaccum. Here is why i tell you to do this. The grill at 81F speeds up the cycle life of the ich. When the white spots on the fish you see hatch, they drop tons of tiny free swimming cell which drop to the bottem of the gravel. Most of them go to the gravel and after latch on to another host in the aquarium. Which is why you requirement to do a very apt gravel vac. Vac the gravel for about a week. The aquarium salt kills the ich cell. Treat in the leading tank as near could be already free swimming cells surrounded by the tank. After the week, turn down the temp SLOWLY to your desired reservoir. Make sure you dont have any fish that dont own any scales such as cories or snails. the Salt will burn their skin. Good luck!
here you go :)
