This is my adv. in the forms WAMAS member only. One off the WAMAS member has the same problem ICK!
Ok to save you the trouble of speding tons of $$$ like I used too on all types of solutions to solve the ick problem, like kick ick, garlic solution, copper solution, lower salinity, extract garlic, quariantine tank ect.... Here is about ick! Ick is like a cold for fishes, if your fish is in stress or any circumstan not in the right enviroment it will have ick or some other type of symtons and die. So the first lesson to make sure that the fish is in the right enviroment and second your water need to be good parameters according to guideline. Third take your time do research or ask on forums about different types fishes behavior and coexist before purchase, and most important make sure that your tank have enough space for your fish the most common problem people tent to put to many fishes in a small tank, this is absolute will stress out these fishes. Just my .02 worth of adv. good luck!
