help with ick

[playtime]

Alright, I know what causes it and how to get rid of it but, TREY mentioned using Rx-P as a dip before putting my fish into my Hospital tank. question how do I mix it as a dip, and what do I do if I cant catch it. He is a singapore Angel and I woke up this morning and he is covered with ick. I added the Rx-P already just to the tank. I only have inverts and 1 blue damsel with him. Help so I don't loose him.

Try garlic! Do a search on this board for garlic. It's worked well for me and for others. I think it's the best thing since sliced bread... actually, if you have any left over, it'll do well with sliced bread. Try soaking it in your fish food. It'll relell the ich and keep those nasty buggers from reattaching themselves to your fish. IMOHO, it's a lot better than upsetting your fish and inverts by capturing, isolatiing, chemicals, etc.

Thanx. I have heard of using garlic but wasn't sure how to use it. I have a big clove I just bought for spagetti. I will do that today. I think the RX-p will get hime bye until then. I HOPE!!!

Just soak your ish food in water-soluble garlic extract. It even works with live brine... I posted the recipe earlier.
Hope this helps!
