Sorry to hear about your ich, boB
I recently acquired a scissor tailed angel, headed for my 72g tank of doom, that had been treated for ich at the lfs for two weeks. Put the angel in its own Qtank just in case it still had ich. Well, 8 days after putting it in the Qtank, it seems to be affected by one ich on its pectoral fin
I can drop salinity as I have a hydrometer, but am going to do the intensive Garlic Xtreme/Immune Boost/Kent Zoe method on this fish like I did with the other two fish that had ich and no have none. The other two fish, btw, are in another Qtank and have shown no signs of ich for the past 8 weeks.
Don't know how truly effective the mega Garlic Xtreme/Immune Boost/Zoe regimine is, but I'm going to feed the new ich fish PE mysis soaked 14 drops of GX, 1/16th teaspoon of IB and a half teaspoon of Zoe twice daily.
If this doesn't work like it did on the other two fish, I'll be doing the hyposalinity. Will give the new ich fish about 2-3 weeks of the additive soaked food before dropping salinity.
ARRGGHHHH!!! I hate ich
