On 12/6 I added Coppersafe to treat the ich that was showing up on my dorsigera. On 12/8 I did a water change of 4 gallons and added 5ml of Coppersafe back in the tank, which is correct amount for 4 gallons.
Since then the spots have disappeared and reappeared every few days. Basically seems to follow the info on the life span of ich.
Anyway the fish are eating, swimming and do not show any signs of stress.
Is this common? Does it take time? I thought once ich was in the substrate it was vulnerable and medication would kill it.
Unfortunately I only have one tank, planted. I am tempted to go pickup a second tank today and treat them in there but I'm afraid it might make things worse with the additional stress.
Here are some photos. Last night I noticed one of my 4 LDs had a white mark above his eye. Today that is gone. So would seem to be ich since they are coming and going.
Anyway took some photos.
Any advice would be great. Thanks.
