ok well my recomendation is the jungle ick clear with a bit of salt added to the water....... another thing what are your water stats??

 

[brigette17]

my water stats are all normal,i got them tested and the guy at the lfs told me everything is ok with my water. i bought some rid ich and i started to treat both my tanks today and i added aquarium salt to the tanks as well. so how long do i continue treatment?they man at the lfs said to do it for 4 days

it should tell you on the box/bottle every medication is different so definetly read the doseage directions.

well it just says continue treatment intil white spot is gone..so..but thank u for your help

most of the times iv had to treat for ick it only took 1-2 days so it shouldnt take that long for it to clear up with yours.
