So basically you can't do anything? Is that what you're implying? What's the point of letting the DT fallow then?Take this as fact, because it is. if you have ich in your system, and you can see it on your fish, it is not treatable. to rid your tank of ich, you will have to go fallow for at least to months. setup a hospital tank and keep your fish in there for at least two months, you can treat them with copper in this system if you want to but it too will not kill the ich. copper will however kill most any other parasite that you may have on your fishies.
Hypo and freshwater dips do nothing for ich so save it. garlic is not a core either, it just promotes eating since it tastes good.
what else... oh yeah, ich is really alot like a common cold, but for a fish. if you keep the fish generally healthy they can fight it off with no problem, if they have other underlying factors then it is like giving the flu to an aids patient.
oh yea, one more thing, if you do nothing you will notice that your fish get infected at about the same time every month.
letting the tank go fallow is the only cure for a tank with corals or inverts. copper will do the trick, but kill all of the non-fish inhabitants. corals and inverts are not effected by ich, but are possible carriers. take the fish out and treat them with copper in s hospital tank and let your dt go fallow for at LEAST six or eight weeks. this will allow all the free swimmers to die from not having a host.So basically you can't do anything?
