+1 on that but however, when you get a fish like smaller angels and tangs like powder blues and browns, they usally the first time being shipped that is it they will keep getting it. once that fish is in your tank you have icvk and the only way to rid the tank of ick is the way Lance did it 6 weeks with no fish. to kill off the free floater pests that attach to the fish. Feeding garlic will only cause the ick pests to drop off the fish but they still will live on the bottom waiting for the next fish to appear at night usually that is how it happens. cleaner wrasses are great forthat taking rid of the pests and shrimps too.

but the best way is the 6week method
