Try methylene blue,if it does not work,try salt.

If you've already started with malachite green, I wouldn't start mucking about with other meds.

First of all - is there carbon in the filter? Take it out; it adsorbs the medication.

Secondly - the fish have stopped flashing. Good start. Keep going as you were; raising the temperature will speed the process up.

Hey there, sorry to hear about your situation. Well, I don't know what brand of medication you are using, but here's what I do for ick. Basically I use Jungle's Ick Guard...the crystal stuff. I treat the tank, then wait 24 hours. If the fish still have white spots I then do a partial water change, siphoning all of the gravel. After that I reatreat. I do this every 24 hours until the fish are healed. I've never had to go more than 3 treatments for ick.
