Death from ich happens as follows.
Left unattended, the ich parasite attacks the gills of the fish. They mulitiply and it is obvious as ich spots are all over the body of the fish. Because of the ich, the fish is unable to breath and gasps for air and slowly it begins the drown and falls on its side to the bottom of the tank and dies.
What steps have you taken since you asked for advice Daryl? Have you lowered the salinity, placed the fish in a @T and medicated hem, or started the garlic regimen?
