You'll want to act pretty quickly once you have read the article. Most of what I know about ICH was learned via pictus catfish. They are highly succeptable to ich and quick to succumb to it if not treated. Don't let me scare you, hours won't make much difference, Days will however. Start treating as soon as you have a game plan estabilished. Don't hesitate, and don't short the treatment period with these guys. I love my pictus, but ich is close to automatic Whenever you bring them home.
