You just move the infected fish from one untreated tank to the next every 2-3 days. At the end of two-weeks there can not be any ick. And at times the ick is all gone in the first couple of days, meaning only one move or maybe only 2 moves i.e., less than a wk. |
I don't understand. Why wouldn't you just take them out of the main tank and treat them all in smaller tanks, while waiting for the ich in the main tank to die?
