Hey all,
in conjunction with the other post I have here about salt sterilizing, I was wondering if anyone has had good luck using ParaGuard for ich treatments. I've used quick cure and other malachite green based meds before with success so I was just curious about this one.
Before anyone says it, yes I know meds should be a last resort. Believe me I wanted to go buy a big heater and a pound of salt to cure my problem. This infestation took me by surprise though, as it went from no visible signs to one of my pickerels with 8-10 cysts on it in what seemed overnight. His behavior worried me too (erradic swimming and staying in the airstone and filter currents, which if you guys know pickerel know they prefer non moving water and lurking) so I went out and got meds to nip this now before anything extreme happened.
anyways, ParaGuard, yay or nay? Thanks!!

I've had success with Quick Cure in the past so I figured since this was a malachite green med too it would be alright, but it claims safe for bb and all that so I wasn't sure if it was weaker in order to make good on that promise.
