There are tons of products on the market for freshwater ick. The one I used when I was in freshwater was rid ick. It worked like a charm.
I'am not sure if copper treatment will work in freshwater.
I'm sure someone else on this board can elaborate on that.

hey you can do all those ick away things, that would be a good suggestion... And to raise the temp of your tank a little if you can if it was 78 then to 80... Something like that... And for fresh water, you should also be using aquarium salt too... They sell that at your lfs Im sure... I use to work at one... And know lots about fresh water fish, learning more about salt all the time tho... Thanks to everyone here... Good Luck!
