Ick thread**ongoing treatment

Not sure if this should be posted here but I just want to know what people's success is with Kick Ick? I'm too busy/lazy right now to catch and quarentine my fish to do hyposalinity so I thought I'd try this Kick Ick stuff. Damn Hippo tang!

ahhh Danny, sorry to hear about that man... what a bummer.. Personally no experiences with any Ick meds... but from everyone and everywhere I have read, it doesn't work, as most doesn't, then again, that's not to say Kick Ick WONT work, just going by what I have heard (and most of the rest of us have heard too...) Sorry I am no help lol.. I just ramble.

I have tried kick ich once works fine in keeping ich under control but not totally kill it. But now I just live the ich to my shrimps to take care or QT if I can catch the fish.

I have a pair of cleaner shrimp but they can't seem to keep up. If it doesn't work I'll try a dip or something. I bought the large bottle to ensure I have enough to finish the treatment, but if I need anymore I'll pm you.

I just soak the food in garlic and give that to the them until it goes away. That has worked great for me

I agree that hyposalinity treatment is the best because I've done it before. I can't dedicate the time to setting up a quarentine tank right now which is why I'm trying Kick Ick. I figure if it works, great. If not, then at least the ick will have been weekened somewhat. No mension in that link to suggest that Kick Ick works though. I guess I'll find out.

You'll always get some people saying it works and some saying it doesn't work.

From my experience with my Hippo Tang, it DOES NOT WORK. I say save your MONEY, and spend the TIME to QT.
