Cleaner shrimp are pretty good at removeing parasites from most fish. They are also excellent scavengersand seem to live forever in captivity. Cleaner wrasse however ONLY eat parasites and in my exerience only live a short time in captivity.

Are you sure you have ICH? It may have spread on to a secondary or 3rd infection by now.


Just my 2 cents worth ...

Cheers

well like most diseases, it starts as one thing and as the immune system deteriorates it can cause a secondary infection , ect ...

Make sence?

The one's that I have had will eat anything from flakes to frozen, however I only seem to get about 4-5 months out of them before they just one day disappear.
