have clown loaches that have ich and one of my other fish have any signs been treating for 5 days, its getting a little better but now im able to get my hands on a year old TSN and a year old Aro even though ill have to get rid of all my other fish minus an adult Blue Crayfish and an adult Stripped Raphael Catfish so whats the best way to eradicate all Ich shall i sell fish that present zero signs of ich and get rid of all my sand and filter media and 100% W/C and just start from fresh with a cycling chem to help speed up cycle time i really want those monsters but dont want them to caught the ich??????
 
could i trade fish in which i am able to they will treat them and just pound the paraguard to the empty tank for a day or two them do a 50 W/C then add some stability cycle stuff for a couple then bring in the TSN and Aro?

Temperature held as high as possible for 14 days is best. If you fish can tolerate 32 (increase aeration at surface and break the water) this is best. Likely it will be gone in 7 in that time but hold it for 14, keep the lights off ICH loves light. It will be gone for sure. I would also add salt, I am a loach keeper myself. I've only had it x2 and it was from adding new loaches! What are they like. Once you've done that you cannot get ich again in your tank even if the fish are stressed. The only way you could would be by introducing a fish infected with ICH or a feeder...
