keep the water parameters  the same as your main tank. I usually would just dose the tank with garlic to get rid of the ick. It helps the fishes immune system so they can fight it off. Has always worked for me sometimes over night.

Sorry you didn't get a quicker response but everybody is here at the July Club Meeting watching the Elite Aquatics Acrylic Seminar & Demo!

You might want to try a FW dip first to kill all the Ich that is on your fish, then into the hospital tank, maybe some copper-based medication, and soak all the fishes food in garlic before feeding.

And make sure your ammonia reading is zero for at least 15 straight days before adding any more fish.

Now, back to an AWESOME meeting!

medications can get very dangerous fast if you are not careful
