I have a couple of fish that have ICK. I purchased the fish like this from a LFS, at a discount, and they gave me some Quick Cure to treat the fish.
Well, I used the Quick Cure for about a week with the tank temperature at about 80-82F. The tank is a 29 gallon Quarantine Tank I have setup. I had an emergency evacuation of another tank, because of an Ammonia spike, and so there are now about 20 fish in there.
So,now all 20 fish have ick, and I thought it was cured, but now it is back with a vengence.
My plan is to elevate temperature to 84F and treat with Quick Cure for 10 days. or atleast till all the white spots are gone plus (3) days past that.
Any other effective methods? The fish are adult Cichlids - Tropheus. In case anyone needed to know, and using TAP water that is dechlorinated.
Thanks for any replies...
