Does guys look loaded with ick. I like doing a fresh water dip with RO water bring temp / ph same and dip fish about 30 seonds. Alot will fall off and also help them breathe. Ick must be all inside they gills. Did that to my potter angle fish and his living ick free. Of course I treated him for 4 weeks with cooper.

The powder blue is doing great very active. He eats from my hand. If I go near the tank he comes up close to the glass to check me out probally looking for food but I like to think he likes me for other reasons then food. Everyone has been very supportive and I appreciate how you have treated my rookie ass. I made some dumb mistakes early on but have gained alot of wisdom from all of you.

If your fish are still alive, it is not velvet. Velvet will claim it's victims quick, usually 24 - 48 hours. It looks like marine ich not marine velvet.

As far as fish are eating, they will pull through.

Good luck.

Garlic, Garlic, Garlic... if you do a FW dip, Make sure to adjust PH and Temp in the fresh water before dip and if you are dipping for 30 mins add an airpump so they dont run out of oxygen. Good luck buddy

Garlic will only incite them to eat and does nothing against ich. Also I have seen to much garlic lowers you pH and should be used in moderation.
