Any Experiances With Protozin?

[trianglekitty]

Not an emergency at this point, since it's been going for months...

My dwarf gourami has the most stubborn case of ich! Things I've tried...

Salt and raising the temp (looked like it cleared up, but returned months later)
Super Ich Cure (small improvement)
Ich Attack (no result)
Rid Ich (most recent- no result at all)

I've done a full course of treatment with each as outlined on the box. He still has spots but is otherwise acting healthy. I would really love to get him out of the hospital tank and I hate throwing so many meds at him. Some people here suggested Protozin, which doesn't seem to be sold in the states (all stores I find with it are in the UK). I'm willing to order it online, but I have come across some people whose fish got worse after using it, or developed fin rot type symptoms. It could just be random and unrelated, but I thought I'd see if anyone had personal experiences positive or negative with it.

And if you haven't had luck with Protozin, any other suggestions?

I`ve used protozin to clear up 2 separate outbreaks in my q tank that came in with new fish. Both cases took only a single course of treatment but you have to be prepared to run consecutive courses which is no reflection on the efficacy of the product
It also pays to clean up the aquarium in terms of suspended solids prior to treatment
