how to kill ich and marine velvet parasites in saltwater aquarium. saltwater fish dying for no reason? Gasping for air and not eating? Not moving? Hiding? You may have Ich parasites or Marine Velvet in your saltwater aquarium. Ich is a parasite and needs to be killed. saltwater aquarium maintenance and care is what my channel is about. Purchase my eBook at Amazon for $2.99 on how to kill ich in your saltwater aquarium. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C3RQO02 or http://www.rottertube.com This nasty parasite is a silent killer. ich embeds itself in the flesh of fish and eats. After a few days it drops off in the sand bed and encrusts in a cell. The parasites multiply, releasing hundreds more parasites into your tank that seek out a fish to host and eat from the inside out. Fish die quickly. There is nothing on the market that will cure your fish. You MUST QUARANTINE, QT, your fish in another tank. With no fish to feed on, the parasite will die in your main display tank. This is how I KILLED the parasite! I learned the hard way by losing most of my fish when I was starting out. I have a book on Amazon for $2.99 that walks you through the entire process if you need more info after watching this video. Saltwater ich and marine velvet and oodinium is a parasite not a disease. It must be removed permanently from your aquarium by letting it die by starvation: removing its food source; your fish. Feeding your fish well is not enough. I wanted to share what I have learned about ich and marine velvet to help your fish and aquarium stay healthy. I always keep each fish I buy, in the quarantine tank for 6 weeks before adding them to the main tank. For an effective quarantine, the new inhabitants must be kept for a minimum of 6 weeks in a separate aquarium. Don't waste your time if you can't commit to this. Quarantine and treat the infected fish and any other potential hosts while allowing the display to go fallow (without any fish) until the pathogen or pest population dies out: 6 weeks minimum. In some cases, like Cirolanid isopods, three months may be required. Copper (copper sulfate/copper citrate/ cupramine): Copper is a metal ion which is also basically a poison to any organism at a high enough concentration. Copper treats most external protozoan and flatworm parasites. It is not very effective against crustacean parasites (parasitic isopods/copepods and the fish lice argulus/branchiurans) or marine leeches. Copper is generally run at .2 ppm and only the salifert test kit we have found for the hobby level can accurately tell you where the levels are at within a respectable range. (API, red sea, Seachem don't seem accurate enough or the colors are too close). Fish in general become lethargic and anorexic around .4-.6 ppm with copper sulfate and copper citrate and around .6 -.8 for cupramine. Some fish, such as seahorses/mandarins/lionfish/dwarf angelfishes/any already stressed or sick fish, are hypersensitive to copper though we have pretty reliably treated those species with cupramine. A very important note: Do not use ammonia binding compounds (amquel/prime) or UV sterilizer with cupramine and so it is imperative to turn those off when treating. Copper overdoses include lethargy (fish acting dull, agitated, and unresponsive) anorexia (fish not eating), and even neurological signs like blindness. Another important warning when using cupramine is that dosing directions on the bottle are not clear about the therapeutic dose. They explain dosing in terms of what volume to add to get to .5 ppm, however this dose is not necessary and actually getting close to a dangerous level for some fish. Therapeutic levels to treat most protozoan parasites is .2 ppm so cupramine should ideally be kept around .25-.3 ppm. ROTTER Tube filter. No more sump socks.
