Check your water for ammonia, nitrite, and excessive nitrate problems. Personally, I would up the water changes to 50% every other day

Discountinue the ich meds ASAP and do a 50% water change. Medications (by that I mean unnatural chemicals) should only be used if you know what the problem is and if there is no other other option.

Is your water naturally 7 or do you add something to it? Is there a possiblity that something is harassing him? What the temperature in the tank? Is he eating?

thanks

my water temp is 78 and my tap water is naturally 7. I seriously doubt there are anything harassing him as he is the biggest fish in the tank by far. He is eating and doing most things normally but he is much more skitish than normal.
