Question
is there a home remedy for ick?  all the stores are closed.

Answer
Hi Bill,
You would be better to wait till the stores open.  The pet stores have good reliable medication that will get rid of the ick.  I have had no success in curing ick with aquarium salt, and higher temperatures.  Buy that right medication when you store opens, and you will save your fish.
