when i had ich in my 1st tank i used myxazin have seen people on here say that kingbritish whitespot treatment is good hope you get it sorted mate, also i believe if you raise the tank temp slightgly it speeds up the ich cycle. hope this helps

thanks will try and sort it hope i havent left it too late

it sounds like you have caught it quite early and you have isolated the affected fish which improves chances of the main tank escaping infection, still a big water change would be wise just as a precaution . good luck with it

I have been going through the ich phase as well. Bump up the temp in the tank to get the ich into their swimming stage (stage at which they are vulnerable)...then go at it with an ich treatment. If you have any fish that don't do well with ich medicines, I would suggest using ich attack. I didn't have much faith in it because it didn't seem to be working, then I increased the dosage and now my tank is ich free and I didn't lose any inhabitants. Best of luck!

Here we GO!

1. Do a huge W/C - 50%-60%
2. Add Aquarium Salt
3. Raise Temp to 90f

This will cut the life cycle of the disease short.... Do another huge water change a week later, then another on the 10th day....

This has worked for me and friends numerous times (in different Tanks)

- Caution when adding salt! Check what fish you have and what there reaction to a bit of salt will be!

Hope this helps!
