argh!!! as some of you may know, i bought 4 bettas from thailand that cost ME £50 and within 2 months, 3 of them died from ich. they all got ich but medusa was the only one that pulled through and now shes got it again!!!! im treating with contraspot and so far see no improvement. what do i dooooooo!?!?!?!?!?!?

do you guys have Quick Cure available in the UK? this stuff cured my guy of ick - BAAAAAD ICK - i mean the kind that kills your fish over night BAD ick and it only took TWO days. he was a dying rescue from the pet store. quick cure is a little harsh on the fins, ( i salt dipped him twice and had him on a regiment of quick cure) but if you keep the water clean they are back and perky in no time!

also forgot to mention that this same stuff cured my drac of bad velvet - i thought he was a goner, and within a week quick cure fixed him up!

i have looked for it here but i havent been able to find any. sounds like my goldie fry could benifit from that stuff too. theyre suffering quite badly from ich and flukes at the moment. bleh. ill put an appeal in the 'buy, trade, sell' forum for some. thanks hun

Do A small water change to kill some of the free swimming ich and keep the tank/bowl really warm so the life cycle of the ich is shorter.

Hi Hun---boy,you sure are having the "fishy problems" lately...What the heck is up with all that Ick? Are you using ornaments/nets,etc. that were used with other fish that had it? Water temps...Are you matching tank temps when you're changing out water? Did you check for any Meds that had Malachite Green/Formalin in it?

that sucks Amy....

well, its not getting worse. in fact, its getting better. i cant see any ich at all now! i guess i caught it in the early stages, thank god! :carrot

keep medicating though until at least 3 days after the last spot has gone. *fingers crossed*.

hope they get better!

yes you should do a search of your pet store meds for the ingredient 'Malachite Green' becuase that will work.....also for those fry!

i will search also.....
