I agree with the last assesment about using copper. Freshwater dips can be helpful depending upon the fish...I use a garlic solution every night to soak my food with. I have not had any ich outbreaks since I started doing this about a year ago.....There was a good article in aquarium magazine about freshwater dips. IT was from about 3 months ago. The more ya read the better you are prepared....Best of luck
