How many times do I treat a tank that has ick?

Howdy Nerms!  
 

So my Rams have ick and I have treated them with ick X.  How many cycles do I give the tank?  Sure the fish look better after one day but after this first cycle do I stop there or do another cycle?  Please share your thoughts.  
 

many thanks,

Howdy fellow Nerm! On ich-x's instructions, it says to do 1/3 wc's everyday. After wcing (wc is water change) add the med acccording to your tank size. Repeat until there is no sign of ich. I see there is still some ich left on your ram so I would do this process for another two or three days. (Three to make sure there are no more pathogens and your tank is free of ich. There maybe ich pathogens swimming around waiting to latch onto their next host so better to be safe than sorry.) Good luck and lmk if you have any questions!

I would treat with ick x for 3 days after there's no visible ich on your fish

@Tedrock; Raise your water temp to about 85 degrees and you'll never have Ich again. Ich goes dormant at 80 degrees but raising your water temp to about 85 degrees also keeps other fish diseases at bay.
