The problem I have with chasing the fish and putting it another tank and dumping in chemicals and then moving it back again, is that causes stress which causes ich to break out. It's best to quarantine your fish first; if you didn't, I think moving it will only amplify your problem. Be sure though that it is ich before following my or any ich advice.

I agree, I have only ever used garlic and it works and I have'nt seen ICK since! Don't chase the fish and put it in a separate tank. Major STRESS!
