Like Water said, try to found out what caused this and prevent it, what is your water parameters, food you feed your severum, tankmates, any wild caugh fish in your tank. Then do a HUGE WC about 80 percent, to try to get rid of the infection. My oscar and pacu had the "ich" too and everything was good until i saw sometimes moths in my house gets attracted to the tank and there r holes so it can get in. Once in the dampness of the lid makes the moth fall into the tank. Then the fishies eat him and they get infected.
i did a huge water change, added salt, and upped the temp to 87-88 like i said. so hopefully i can beat this pest
I also recommend feeding one of the NLS Thera A pellets during this period and in the future. Decide which pellet size works best for your fish and start on it immediately.
i dont feed my fish anything but nls and thera a is my one of choice
