My pair of laetacara araguaiae are having some ick on their body right now. I am using ro mixed with tap water and the ph is 7.2. Just raised the temperature at 86F. They actually having fry with them and the fry is free swimming for one day now. Should I add some aquarium salt? Need advise please!

Yes salt, heat and formalin will usually get rid of it. Fortunately it's an easy disease to recognize and treat. The fry may or may not survive, but if this batch fails they'll spawn again.

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
