If it is fuzzy and white, it is not Ich, but fungus. Ich looks like small granuals of salt were sprinkled on your fish. Look for some Rid Ich + by Kordon and follow the instructions. It treats parasitic (like Ich) and fungal infections of fish.

Most medicines take 4- 14 days to work. Are you treating him with a fungal/parasite medicine?
