The best you can do is get garlic and soak your fishfood in it. The best is extract from a health store like kyolic (sp?) from GNC. It seems to work sometimes and not others. The earlier you start the better. Do a search for garlic on the disease board for more info on how to proceed.
Good luck,
sam

HI THERE, I'M ALSO NEW AT THIS SINCE HUBBY HAD THIS AQUARIUM AT WORK AND NOW I'VE GOT IT AT HOME...MY BLUE TANG ALSO DEVELOPED "ICK" AND MY EMPEROR SNAPPER CAUGHT IT AFTER...I RIGHT AWAY USED "COPPER SAFE" ONLY ONCE , MAKE SURE YOU READ EXACT MEASURES IN TSPS OR OUNCES AND THEN ONE TREATMENT SHOULD DO IT...GIVE IT THREE DAYS AND LOOK FOR RESULTS...YOU SHOULD ONLY USE COPPER SAFE ONCE A MONTH...MORE CAN GIVE FISH TOXIDITY....GOOD LUCK, PATTIE

You have ick and black spot disease? You should invest in a separate hospital tank.
