If you have Fish in ich is there a cure?

Question

What is a good ich treatment and cure? Is there really a cure for ich?

If ich lives on the fish and in the tank how long does it take for the treatment to work?.

Answer 1

I stumbled upon a site with information on how to to treat Ich.

The site explains what Ich is and how it lives in your fish tank. I found the information was helpful. It said Ich lives for around 48 hours and it is a disease parasite who’s host is fish.

You need to kill the Ich before it can grow on your fish.

So to answer your question is there a cure for Ich the answer is "No" but there is a treatment for Ich.

Answer 2

In addition to treating the water with an anti-ich medicine & raising the temperature of the water, I would also recommend adding aquarium salt to the water with every water change. This will help defend against ich & other ailments, as well as help them recover faster when they do get sick.

Answer 3

you can go to any petstore or walmart and pick up ich medicine, it will cost you probably $10 at the most, i think it takes about a week to kill all of the parasite.  

Answer 4

go to pet store and buy sea salt use in separate tank with fish think it 1tbs per gallon ask pet store or look up first then use ick remover in main tank with out fish cuz that stuff can kill certain fish so unless u know what fish can take it use sea salt also some stores have ick remover for fish with now scales like pleco,sharks,etc.. then when fish are good in part salt tank and all should be good in main tank clean good do water change and put fish back in

Answer 5

I use Nox-Ich in my tank when I have ich present(Whatever treatment your local pet store has should work ok). Along with the treatment turn up the heater in your tank..as the bacteria don't like the warmer water. I'd say within a week you should see a decline of the ich on the fish themselves.

Good Luck
