KennyMcLenny Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hello! On Sunday I began treatment for my 2 Tiger Oscars for Ich. I used Ich-X and followed the instructions exactly. Monday I woke up and I saw way less Ich on them... however their fins started fading away. They were still very active and hungry. I changed water, added the Ich-X, and also added Maracyn. Today I woke up, Ich appears to be completely gone. Their fins didn't get too much worse, however it did not get better. I just got done changing the water, and redosed with Ich-X just to be sure I get rid of all of it. My question is, do I dose them with Maracyn again? Should I be doing Ich-X and Maracyn daily? I'd appreciate any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Typically you want to with ick x for 3 days after you see the last spots you can dose maracyn daily with ick x it will be less effective as you have to do daily water changes with ick x and that will lower the concentration of maracyn @KennyMcLenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would do is keep dosing with ick x for 3 more days I would add the maracyn to food he's how I dose maracyn in food I use 1 quarter of a packet of maracyn one table spoon of pellets one scoop of seachems focus 1 cap of garlic guard a few drops of water mix well feed twice a day for 7 days store any leftover medicated food in the fridge or you could keep dosing maracyn daily alongside ick x but it will be less effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomicfish Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 When my fish had ich I used something called herbtana Microblift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
