I am going to get a couple of these for my new setup.

Here's my tank on things.. I have had ick on and off but only to new additions. It's never spread to my other fish. I have added/replaced 3 fish in my tank and haven't seen it since.... a lot depends on a bunch of other factors when buying fish and introducing them to a system as well IMO.

I have only lost 1 fish to ick (flame angel) and well, that probably wasn't a wise purchase and I do regret it.. Anywhoo,

What I have used in the past for ick is garlic and and good, stable water paramaters. That does the trick for me...

Good luck.. try stuffing him with garlic. Look into the fish suggested, and also Polyp Lab just came out with a new med for getting rid of ick.. might be worth checking out. I am going to myself, polyp lab seems to have some good stuff.
