i have had lots of luck with treatment of salt i only use sea salt though as table salt ect have the additives in it that can be most harmful to your fish for ick i have done the whole concentration ( and yes my fish survived and i was praying that i didnt kill them by adding the full dose of 0.03% concentrate at once but i'm not saying that everyone should do it i was only willing to take that risk to save my fish) @ once and it has wiped out the ick completely but that was only because a whole break out of ick suddenly appeared in less then 24 hrs then i slowly started to raise the tank temp for best results to keep the salt in your tank for 2 wks until you see no more ick and also if you have gravel to vaccum it with the gravel vac as ick can live in the gravel and any water changes that you do to replace the salt you removed and i know all to much about ick reg meds for ick are harmful and so fourth but i find salt the best treatment for ick also make sure that you dilute the salt with tank water before adding it to the tank! I hope that this helps you with your ick prob |
