    i dont know if theirs anything i can do, i think it might be too late.

    I got two pink margin fairy wrasses two weeks ago. Both got ick right away, took them about a week to recover, i didnt treat them i just did my normal garlic. On one of the wrasses it went away and hasnt come back. But now blossom has it again and is really bad, after the first outbrake she was ick free for 24hrs. Then it came back slowly and got worse, even though she had the ick she was eating and acting fine.

    Today she is acting REALLY bad and looks like she's going to die. She is in a back corner, displaying her fins she has been floating in one spot and facing downwards. She doesn't even move when fish swim by her, she is also breathing heavily. I fed tonight and she did eat but she was just floating and facing dowards when she was trying to eat, she also would eat weird like her jaw would open really big. After a few minutes she went back to the corner again and she sank to the floor and had to force herself back up

    is their anything i can do, QT isint possible and i am seriously broke until thursday and cant afford to get any meds

    i just dont know what to do :(

    well she ended up passing away last night RIP blossom :(

    I'm so sorry about this! Trust me, I know exactly how you feel. I don't think there's anything you can add to the water to help with ich....just hope she keeps eating and keep the water really clean.
