Heat Ich Treatment Did'nt Work / How To Remove Ich?! Help &#33

[Kuckju]

Hello, from several months my fish are having problem with ICH disease. I can't believe why it takes so long ...In the whole time of having this disease I only saw couple times dots on my fish, they don't have dots but they are rubbing. It's very strange because I has ICH disease for 3 months.
My fish aren't dying but i'm worried !

I've tried many of ways to beat this up but nothing helped. I been using: salt curation(1teaspoon for 1gal in 10days), Kordon ich attack(no effect,money lost), methylrosanilinium chloride 1% / gentian violet 1% - didn't worked and killed a corydoras and shrimps (unfortunately someone has recommended it), and as a last treatment i been using heat treatment.

I have read that I have to in the time of 2 weeks I need to hold the temperature 30C / 86F.
My heater sucks and temperature was different (day: sometimes 86F/30C, sometimes 87,8F / 31C, night: 89,6F / 32C).
In the central europe people recommend to heat the tank with 89,6F / 32C but here you are saying 86F/30C. Does the 86F / 30C are going to kill ICH if in this temperature ICH is just sleeping?
Maybe the reason why i still having ICH is because my temperature wasn't steable - sometimes 86F/30C , 87,8F / 31C, 89,6F / 32C. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT? Maybe this method works only in steable temperature 86F or 89,6F?
My fish had no problems with 89,6F / 32C.My fish was OK.
For any price I don't want to use chemicals. The young fish(fry) in my tank can be distorted by chemicals.

Please someone with some experience HELP ME because nothing helps. You now some more working methods?

I leave in Poland but I hope my english is understable.
THANKS.

Hi Kuckju,
Are you absolutly sure your fish have ICH? if there are no spots it could be another disease like gill flukes for example as fish will rub to try and remove these as well.
I am sure when somebody comes along with more knowledge than me they will ask you if you have tested the water for ammonia/nitrites/nitrates etc and what type of testing kit you have strips or drip test. If you can get these results you will get a faster more comprehensive response.
 
By the way you English is pretty good.
 
Powodzenia

What kind of fish are in the tank? Are there any snails or shrimp?

This could very well be the result of a different parasite.  Ich is fairly easy to diagnose.  Something like gill flukes (a different parasite) would be nearly impossible to detect visually but the fish would show irritation from the parasite by 'flicking' (rubbing).

Agree, the are different other issues that will cause rubbing.

Hello, thanks for all answers! I hasn't possibility to write here lately.

So there is no way I has ICH in my tank because I don't see any dots on fish untill now.
I was scarred of another disease called Fish TB (FISH TUBERCULOSIS/Mycobacterium).
So I will make a new topic about it.
I will be grateful for some help because I get really worried and I have do something quickly about it.

Sorry to say, but what the hack is this??? Earlier you asked everone's help on allmost every European forum there is. A cry for help and then "you're not able to answer any question" asked. Come on !!! And now in an eyeblink we're switching from Ich to the next dreadful disease.
Sorry, but to me this is not the way and not very respectful to the members that are trying to help (on any forum).
