NoobtoSalt Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 nothing.... Well I wouldn't recomend moving your fish anywhere. Just make sure they are eating. If you use a frozen blend (I would highly recomend it if you dont) go to your LFS and get some sort of garlic supplement. Other than that if you move the fish you will just stress them out more. I haven't had ich in my system in about 6 months now. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Google it and make sure you have ick and not marine velvet. If it is ick I agree with Noob; feed them well and let it run it's course. On the other hand if it is velvet then it's a whole other ball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
