Do I need to hire a new crew???

I really think there should be a sticky with ich in the subject line. I think there's been quite a few ich threads asking for help in the last week that I've intended to write a response on a word document to cut and paste every time there is a thread about it. Not that I don't mind helping (I'm going through it right now), but perhaps could be easier to point others to that thread with all the information laid right out.


I have an article write up in the Marine Article section on treating Ich via Hyposalinity, if thats any help to you Mandy....

very nice. However I can honestly say I don't think I've looked in there and it's pretty clear that I'm not the only one. I just used other resources. But I can now direct them to that now that I can look at it :grinyes:
 
So copper is bad. How about gold? I hide all my gold bars in the tank.
 
Can I use holy water to rid of ick?
No I hired a Priest to bless the whole tank... No good. :( I think I am going to ask Billy Dee Williams to come over and pour some Colt 45 in it... He says it "Works Every Time", we'll see.
 
My pacific blue came down with a minor case of ich, just a few spots. The guys at the LFS said it was okay, it'd clear up on its own in short order. She would rub herself on the sand, several times a day, and it actually worked. The clowns and the goby never got it, and she cleared up in a couple of weeks....

You are aware of how the life cycle of ich works, right? It doesn't just disappear like that or none of us would have problems with it.
 
could you not get a uv filter to get rid of ich. I haven't actually used on but i have been told it works well in freshwater to get rid of ick.
