In this video, we look at my 20 long, open-top tank that has recently been infected with Ick aka White Spot Disease (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis). I am currently beginning a cycle of heat treatment to eradicate the parasite.
So far, I have lost a single Chocolate Zebra Pleco (L-270) due to infestation of the gills.
Due to the reclusive nature and bottom dwelling habits, It took too long for me to spot the problem and begin treatment.
