I treated my fish with API's "LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE" and the green color has disappeared!!!!!! I am concerned that the ick parasite will not be effectively killed if the green coloration has disappeared from the water. I have not treated fish for ick before and feel very concerned. I am sure many have had experience using "LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE" or a similar product. Can someone please reassure me that it is normal for the green color to disappear from the water after a few hours and that I should wait 48 hrs (as the instructions suggest) before adding more????
:help::help::help:

Hope you can help! Alfonso

Unless you have charcoal in your filter, you should be good

Put some tank water in a white bucket or cup and it will have some blue/green to it if you've got any API Super Ich Cure in the tank.

I've used that product too and didn't think my water was discolored until I did a water change using my white 5gal bucket.
