as for why its not dying off... im clueless...
Right, this is exactly what I felt after two rounds of hypo for about three and a half months. So thats why for the past 4 months or so I have NOT QT'd but tried to let them fight it off themselves. Its worked ok and they are fighting it off to a point but it just will not go away. It had been quite a while since the last time I saw spots until last night. They are mostly gone already tonight, so a little less than 24 hrs. Thats kind of encouraging but man this is getting ridiculous!

Now I don't know...QT again! Risk some of them not making it and stress them again. Or keep letting them fight it on their own? Risking them getting really sick I guess. Its hard to figure out for me right now which is why I am still considering finding them good homes. Problem there is that how can I find people who want to take fish with ich???

Blah!
