Answer
Hello Cameron,

Sorry to hear your having ICK problems.

I strongy suggest you regulate your routine, and feed your fish, healthy stuff.  Seaweed, and protein.  Most seaweed has vitamins and good stuff that will help the fish develope a good immune system.

There are many product out ther, that I have heard good things about, but have never had the need to use.

Kick Ick comes to mind, but really I am sure they are all ok.

Please follow the directions well, and try to keep the fish as rested and mellow as possible.

I would also research and mayb invest in a UV light/sterilyzer.  These wont cure ICK, but they will help if you follow all the other good routines.


Good luck, and please let me know how things work out for you.


Bill
