I have been going to this one fish place for many years here in Virginia. It is a famiy own business, and I know the owners personally, and they use Kick-Ich as well, they say it works. So when my bangai and raccoon got ich, I tried it, the treatment is hard to see results, b/c the kich-ich kills the free floating ich. It some-what kills the ich on the fish but only to a degree, therefore, a cleaner wrasse should be in place to eat the parasite while treating kich-ich for the free floating parasites; Same thing happen to my tank, I was treating ich, and my fish also had popeye, therefore, I had to make a decision what to treat, I really didn't want to discontinue or interupt the ich treatment cycle, but I decided to, then, I treated the popeye with Maracyn Two, though it may color the water green, it's ok; after a day of Maracyn Ick got worst again, so I quickly put in all new activated carbon and turned on my skimmer to remove the maracyn, soonafter, I began to treat Ick again, so now I am buying a UV to control and terminate the ich along with the cleaner wrasse, and then treat popeye... Long story, but hope it helped...
