Help!!!! Ick!

ok Thanks for the info guys. he is still eating and the spots seem less today...all I have done is bumped up the feeding...I soaked the food in the zoe like you some said just because i had it...and i figured vitamins wouldnt hurt. I will keep yall posted.

Most of my experience with it has been as long as the fish acts normal and eats then all will be good. The vitamins are to strengthen, the garlic is to get them to eat, main thing is to not freak the fish out anymore than it already is. Like most have told you - remove the fish as a last resort and remember that the ick will always be there in some form. Glad the fish appears to be better today, keep us updated.

I think you made the right choice. Ich always looks bad when an outbreak occurs but IME has never been fatal.

Velvet on the other hand- I would pull all the fish out ASAP and QT them.

Brook is just hard to beat no matter what you do as it kills so quick. Have formallin on hand if that happens. Luckily it usually only affects clowns so you dont lose your whole fish population.

Dont be suprised if it flares up again especially if you introduce a new fish or change something in the tank. Just keep feeding him well and you ought to be good to go.
