Help!!! Ick!!!

[Myanth]

Thanks. I have read much on here and many other sites on this parasite. I have no hospital tank and lowering salinity in the main tank is not an option.
(not to mention the virtual impossibility of catching the fish) I could set up a 20 gallon that I have if it is my only option but I would be concerned with that as it has not been set up in a while.

Garlic? like oil or actual garlic cloves ground really small?

And if it only makes the parasite drop off of the fish, how do you then rid the system as I have heard and read that the life cycle can be anywhere from 5 weeks to eleven months depending on salinity and temperature.

Thanks again.
Mike
