I need help to regulate my fish tank?
I have a ten gallon tank with one goldfish and three zebra danios. The goldfish has ich and I've been treating this with aquarium salt and ich meds, (and I even tossed in a pinch of fishmox) but he's not really improving. I've raised the temp to 74 and I've been doing regular 1/4 water changes between doses but now all of the fish are lethargic. The PH was EXTREMELY blue when I tested it, so I've just added a pinch of the stuff you lower it with, but if this doesn't work, (or if I'm doing it wrong) please give me some advice because I'd really like to keep these guys alive. Thanks!

To treat ich well, raise the water temperature to 78-80 and use Coppersafe. Coppersafe kills all external parasites usually in a day and one dose lasts a month.
Also, you realize you can't keep a Goldfish in a ten gallon for more than a few months before it outgrows the tank. Minimum tank size for them is 20-30 gallons.
