Answer 1

First and foremost, turn off any and all filters you have. If your filters are still running, then you're basically not getting the meds to the fish - the filters are filtering it out.

Once your filters are off, I would change about 30% of the water and then re-treat with your ick treatment.

Your fish may also have fungus or parasites - alot of these look like ick. If you're unsure, head out to your local pet shop and speak the fish dept people. The better pet stores out there will have qualified fish experts who will be able to help you and hopefully resolve your tank problems by recommending the best treatment.

Good luck and don't give up!

Many of my Betta fish have died from ich. I too treated them for weeks with that special ich stuff you put in the water but they still kicked the bucket. I'm sorry, I have no more advice to say but keep using the ich stuff and then wait and see if they get better. Next time you have fish use the ich stuff even before they show signs of the disease. Remember: The earlier the treatment, the better:).
