GREAT! just when i got my discus to settle in, ick appeared

there were ick on my clown loaches at first, i treated them, al but one with ONE spot on the tail was fine...today, my discus has it! what am i doing wrong?

i do %10 water changes weekly, should i do 20% weekly instead?

i used up all my med so now i brought new ones, by aquarium pharmaceuticals

I do 20% water changes weekly....

i also use Aquarium Pharmaceuticals products when required and find them to be very good

no surprise there. If there are spots on the fish, ich is in the water. Don't add healthy fish to a tank that has/had ich until you're 100% sure you haven't seen any white spots on the current inhabitants for at least 3 days (preferably up to 7). Keep treating it, and when the spots have 100% disappeared, treat once more.

I thought discus needed more water changes than that.

Move uptp 20 percent 3 times a week, more even.
