i just checked my fish tank and notcied that my jack dempsey has white freckles, so i quickly scan the tank and counted a few others with ick, of the list are my payara scomb, channel catfish, red oscar, jack dempsey, goephagus dicrozster, and my three gymnogeny maldonados. what do i do, i would treat normaly, but the catfish and payara im deathly afraid to lose them. what do i do? i put some salt in and put the heater in, imma go with this treatment for a while then if all else fails i might resort to pimafix, please help me, tell me if im doing somthing wrong and how to fix it. the ick hasn't progressed very far, just a few spots, so im a little relieved to know that its not severe and im to late.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Edit: the tank is a 125 gallon tank with a little less then proficient filtration, so i do water changes very frequent
 
Try aquari-sol,just follow the instructions on bottle worked real good for me when my fish got it real bad. Keep up with water changes follow instructions increse heat to cycle the ich through. Good luck hope they all make it
 
thanks, im going to go get that tomorrow, anything else i should pick up?

Should be it if your planning to go with this suggestion to treat. Just remember to increase aeration. GL
 
i have two 10" air strips running in there with an air pump rated up to 300 gallons i believe, im not 100% sure on what the pum is rated to, but it pumps out the air like no other!
