Theres a couple of garlic formulas you buy in s fishstore, and personally i rather deal with that so i wont get the mess on me, plus its been tested before. Theres actually many solutions you put on the fishfood to entice their apetite and make em eat, while enrichening the vitamin property in the foods. Ima be going to my freinds lfs in about 20 minutes, ima find out for you. What i have done in the past though is either of both. If at an early stage, i have freshwater dipped the fish, and that has basically killed it. Or if a lil more profound case of ick, i place the fish in my qt and dose with calcium while running a aquaclear 500 filter and uv sterilizer. That seems to get rid of it in a few days. But ick is the fishes way of stressing out, so sometimes theese changes in their environment can defect them even more, so always handle with care!
