I have a powder blue who has just recovered from Ick. I have given him formalin baths twice and a freshwater dip as Trey instructed. After the formalin baths the areas that were previously infected turned black. I assume this might be the parasite dying and is normal, but I'm not sure. He is still eating and swimming well, but continues to scratch constantly and has bad color. I'm treating him with copper. When I dip him in the formalin he appears to be very happy and relieved. Upon returning to the hospital tank he scratches again. Levels are good in QT and I do regular water changes. Any advice as to what else I can do. Thanks
