I have also tried Kick-Ick several in the past. If your looking to rid the ick, its NOT a fix and IMO, found it was a waste of money. There is NO quick fix, although I wish there was. But since your trying product anyway, you will see yourself in no time.
If it is only the Regal that is infected... and has a history of getting ick, then I would feed foods soaked in garlic foods as well as do water changes to make sure water is prime condition. Also I would look at why he got ick. From new addition? Is it from stress? What caused the stress? Is there overcrowding? No enough hiding places for him? etc, etc. Cause perhaps if that problem corrected Regal will stay ick free.
Best of luck,
Lee
P.S something to consider to when raising the temp, is the life cycle of the parasite does go through cycle faster, but it also speeds up the fish metabolism making them want to eat more, heart pumping faster and play harder. But also the key factor is that the higher temperature the less oxygen in the water. making it harder for the fish to breathe, especially when ick attacks the gill of the fish first, its two double whammies! But something to consider.
