Have you successfully treated Ich?

[Annastasia]

One of my community tanks got ich a few years ago. I raised the temperature, added a little salt, and did water changes. Most of the fish got cured...the only ones that died were 2 German Blue Rams. So not totally successfully, but it worked out pretty well. After all, Rams aren't exactly the hardiest fish....

Well, I am currently battling ich. I have never seen it before until my clown loaches came into my tank...and boy it's a problem I have right now. I noticed it on my clowns after about a week since there introduction into the tank. Now I think my yellow lab has it! Last night I caught him swimming irratically, rubbing up against the rocks, and his little "house" decor. My puffer is fine, but I fear he may be the next victim. I added in salt last night, plan on changing the water and raising the temp today. Unclear of the results yet, but I will vote whenever results start appearing.

I've had the misfortune of having ich only twice. Once some ghost shrimp apparently brought it into my oscar's tank with their water... I used Jungle ich clear and it was gone in 3 days and never came back. A platy brought it into my 10 gallon, but once again I used Jungle ich clear and once again the beast was defeated!
It took about two weeks to completely clear it from the community tank, though. I've never had a death from ich

We've had it a number of times.

treated at the first sighns - (first couple of spots)
Its gone within 2-3 days and we have never lost a fish to it.

never lost a fish to it.

i found Interpet No.9 worked well for me, and even at half dose with scaleifsh it worked fine.

never had ICH in my big tank though, nor in my 2 smallest.

I treated with drops, and had no deaths. Not every time, but once that happened.

I have successfully eliminated Ich 3 times on the same fish in the same tank with no fish loss. I did this using high doses of Colloidal Silver and tolerable amounts or Morton's Non-Iodized Table Salt AND raised temperatures, with only 2 25% water changes.
