I gots da Ich

[fawkes027]

Just my luck. First time having a SW tank and my fish get sick. What do I do? I've got a 20gal tank that has 2 clowns and a yellow tail damsel. It doesn't seem to be a bad infestation of Ich (although any at all sucks). What I mean is they are still eating, and breathing normally.

 

I have done a FW dip to try and get off as much of it as possible before it dropped off in my tank (my sideways reasoning). I do not have qt tank nor can I find room for one which makes me sad. All I have is a small 2 gallon tank. What do I do? Do I keep dipping them in FW? Do I use garlic? Do I use that Kent Rx stuff? Please help. I'm at a loss as to my options and don't want my fish to die.

Start soaking thier food in garlic. It really does seem to help.

 

Not sure if this will be of any help, I didn't read through the whole thing, but it discusses some treatments.
