Ich Question

[krowleey]

I was wondering, if you had a ich breakout and your fish fought it off, and they did not get it again for 30 days would your tank be free of ich and u could add more fish? also has anyone used no-ich? its says its reef safe will not harm inverts or bacteria, ppl are raving on it at my LFS curious if anyone has xp here? :notsure: :thinking:

In my experience, no-ick, kick-ick or any of those reef safe products have not work for me. The best way to get rid of the ick is hypo and copper. If it's a reef tank, catch the fish and treat it in a hospital tank. HTH

Oops, Yes there's still a chance that the ick can come back. How did you treat it? I do not believe a fish can fight off ick on its own without any kind of treatment. It may just be dormant.

i had a ich breakout when i added a hippo tang, he was the only fish that died from it. 3 green chromis watchman goby and fire fish survived and never got a spot on them tht was 4 months ago then i added 2 cardnals and i have seen like two white dots on the tail of one of them but im not 100 pct sure its ich and i really dont wanna tear my tank apart to get them out and i dont have a QT tank

Just wait and see I guess.:thinking:

yeah i have the no-ich but im not going to use it unless i see mass infesation i am using kents garlic extreme with feedings and put a few drops in the tank. but then again it might not be ich it doesnt really look like it totally and its juts like two spots on his tail nothing on his body or any other fish
