Yeah, Id give it a little longer before turning to meds, Make sure 02 exchange is strong......lotsa surface agitation. Maybe drop the level of your tank a bit to help. I had one particularly strong case of it once and took my temp up to 90 for a few days and it finally went away.

well, if you've lost some then maybe it is time for some meds. Quick cures or anything with malachite/victoria green usually works, but it's pretty heavy duty stuff. If you do use any product with either of these 2 ingredients be sure to keep the tanks light off and the room the tank is in a dark as possible for the duration of the treatment.

best of luck

is there substrate in the tank? If its a bare bottom tank its much easier to get rid of.

I would use a treatment. I picked up my bahia at 1 inch over the summer and it had ich according to wes fugu he said bump the temp add salt and use ich treatment i followed his instruction and now my guy is strong and healthy. I think you should use maybe a half dose of the med those that is what i did and when i tell you my bahia had ich bad i thought it was def a not going to live.
