The best way to combat Ich is the following points, the more you can do the better.
1 - Raise temperature slowly to about to 80-81c
2 - Lower salinity slowly a few points (1.019-1.020).
3 - suppliment diet with garlic extract mixed with frozen. (garlic guard, selcon)
4 - products like ImmunoVital added to water
5 - Cleaner wrasse, cleaner shrimps don't touch ich
6 - useage of herbal Ich meds like Ich Attack or Rid-Ich work well too
If the Ich isn't too bad (10-20) spots, and if the fish is eating. Garlic is best choice, most will fight it off.
