Ok here's my scenario I've bought like 10 clown loaches about 3 weeks ago, have them in a 55g they started having ich the day after I bought them. I started treating them with noxich untill now they still have it so I put them in a quarintine tank and started treating them then one or 2 would die a day I can't shake the ich. Help please!! And yes I do 25% changes.
 
scaleless fish won't put up with ich medicine. You will just have to raise your temp up to 84 degrees and possibly add some salt to your water and just wait it out. Hopefully it hasn't gotten that bad yet.

The best way to prevent ich is quarantining your fish before you add them, keeping a constant temp, and doing regular water changes.

Good luck!
 
I agree. But you eventually want to raise the temp to 90 degrees. Each day by 2 degree untill you reach 90. Add some salt. Leave the tamp high for about a week. The ich cannot survive at that temp. GL
 
I use coppersafe and it works the best. Make sure you follow the directions and use only half doses with NO carbon in your filter
