Ichthyophthirius (white spot or ick) Treatments:
There is only one treatment I recommend for Ick. Quickcure had beaten it time and time agian at my house. I keep it around all the time. I might be bias but, ride the horse that got you there. This stuff is like magic, it's cured ick fully everytime I have used it.

Shake well before using. Use one drop per gallon daily on all fish except those of the tetra group. For tetra--use one drop for every two gallons daily. For marine fish--for lymphocystis use one drop per gallon daily in a bare aquarium. Cures ick in two days, lymphocystis in one week. Quick Cure will slightly color the water blue--this disappears in a few days. Remove charcoal or carbon from filtration system during treatment. Avg. Price - $1.77

Another remedy is to raise the tank temperature to about 90F (Be very careful, some fish can't handle this.) and add 1 tsp/gallon salt to the water. But why waste your time, Get some Quickcure today!

In addition to the ick medication, you may try a series of rapid water exhanges. You might also consider using aquarium salts designed for fresh water tanks.

not too much..maybe raise the temperature of the tank a little bit...but the medication is usually enough.

While you are waiting for the medication to take effect, try studying a grammar and spelling book.
