How to cure ich

[BestMomEver]

What is your recommended treatment course?

Some people use multiple methods depending on the species of fish.

I personally prefer using chelated copper (Copper Power) on most fish. I use the Hanna high range copper checker to accurately monitor and maintian therapuetic levels.

That’s most definitely velvet. Sorry for your loss. You’ll need to remove all fish in that tank and leave the tank fallow for 76 days — and treat the remaining fish with copper in quarantine.

Velvet is everywhere these days, you’ll not be managing velvet so that idea is out the window. Sorry for your loss, again

you mean 6 weeks? (If it’s only velvet)

IMO no reason to assume ich is not present. The two aren’t mutually exclusive and if you’re already running fallow, do enough for both and cover your bases. Just my .02.
