ICH!!!!!

[daniella3d]

huh...what do you mean putting it in a small tank? it is already in a small tank.

20 gallons is a proper tank for treating a fish that size and coming from a 20 gallons already, it would feel right at home.

It is said that ick goes to a few generations and then if not re-introduced just exhaust itself. I think I read something like 10 generations. I don't know if it is true because there is some people that I know who have ick for years and it comes and it goes, but I have also read people having it disapear from their tank after some time without treating.

I have started dosing garlic in the food and have just finish feeding it (I mix mysis + flake + garlic paste). I will be getting a seachem's garlic very soon.

Any suggestion on how long to keep the food soak in garlic? Because I mix it, let it sit for a few minutes and then let it go off in the tank. Is that alright or do I have to get it settled for a few hours before dropping it in the tank?
