I've had ich in a couple of my tanks, in my opinion it is best to let it run its course. Generally ich is a stress induced disease. Make sure all water parameters are where they should be. If they are not, then correct the problems, and the ich will go away. I think a lot of the treatments (FW dips, etc.) just end up stressing the animal and make it worse. Also who knows what type of effects the meds have on bacteria, and other beneficial microorganisms in our tanks. Once again this is my opinion and personal experience, but I will add that I have never lost a fish to ich.
