how do i get rid of ick on my fish?

Answer 1

There are tons of ick treatment for fish out there.
You can look at the active ingredient on the medicine to see how potent it is.

Answer 2

Ditto to Evelyn on this one. I would only add that when you do your daily 25% water changes be sure to clean the gravel well and also remember to add back only that salt needed for the water you removed! If you do a 25% change, that would be about 5 gallons, so only add back 5 tablespoons of salt.

Answer 3

you should be able to buy some medicine at a pet store or wal-mart. That should clear it up quick. If u dont have money, then my friend said u can put flower, like what u bake with, on the fish, and it'll clear up in a day or so.

Answer 4

very simple
turn the heat up to 88 degrees
scoop out some water from your tank and dissolve 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt per gallon of water, so if you have a 20 gallon, dissolve 20 tablespoons of it in there
then pour it in your tank
Do daily partial waterchanges of 25% until you see no more spots and keep up with the treatment, when the spots are gone, return the temperature to normal and do a 50% waterchange


Hope that helps
Good luck

Answer 6

I'm hoping this is a freshwater tank.
Because some salt water tanks, you wouldn't want to medicate and kill your invertebrates.
