K. I'm at a loss. I've tried Ick Clear by Tank Buddies. ClearAway by some unknown label company...salt...temp...water changes...25% after the third day of treatment...then another 25% on the fourth treatment...on the seventh day (sound familiar? It would TAKE that kind of miracle to get rid of this crap!) I dosed my tank with the last dose, waited another 24 hours, then did a 50% water change + a new filter. To know avail.

Sooo...

If there IS an "ich slayer" out there, please, PLEASE do share your everlasting success with me.

I've also have had a hard-knock-around bout with blurry eye on all of my marble and dalmatian sailfin mollies...E.M. Tablets by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (200 mg tablet of Erythomycin x 4 day regimen). Plus, the whole water change schedule...ya-dah, ya-dah. Now my fish have the blurries in BOTH eyes, including bulging snow-white pupils.

Bad fish? New filter (these did come with the garden variety 29 gal. tank kit I purchased from Wal-Mart)? Big sleep (for fish, not me...well, at this point, anything's possible)?

SML.
(aka: SodeeMama/Liz or Some-might-live...whatever. It's late.)

Ditto Raskolnikov's response. Worked like a charm.

Ditto pl*co. You can use table salt if you want.
