I see, The UV will not cure the fish, But after the Ick leaves the fish and is in the free swiming stage ,won't the UV kill Ick as the water goes through it ? If so, I can see as long as theirs any fish that still has this inside them there is no way to kill it all .Because you will always have a differnt stage going on all the time, is this right ?

You seem to be right, all this started after I put in the Dragon Goby and I did see him bite at some of the fish come to think of it !!

The garlic, is it to get them to eat better? or to make them healthier?

I feel that maybe the Kick-Ick treatment might help kill what is in the swim stage ,but after you stop the treatment any fish that still has this will start the cycle over again ? And you say all fish has this ,so the only way to cure them is to Qt each fish until all
ick leave the fish [weeks]until the cycle is over? Or that they will always carry it no matter what ?
