Ich help

[BCOrchidGuy]

I agree the Dip only works for stuff on the surface but the hyposalinity works nicely long term. Garlic some will argue is useless but I've always had good luck with it, as a preventative measure as well as part of a treatment. My understanding is that it gets into the fishes blood stream and makes the fish taste bad to the parasite. Ever have a feast of curry and then laughed at how you smell the next day??
Blood Hound hit the nail on the head again, the parasite will be in your tank for a long time after the fish are taken out so caution should be observed. My understanding is that there is almost always Ich present in the tank but it takes a weakening of the fish to allow the Ich to become a problem.
