Administrators Cory Posted May 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2022 Any med can harm fish. However I have used it for years without low risk. However I'd be using ich X to treat ich normally. I'm not sure how effective you'll find the general cure against ich cause I use it vs internal parasites normally. I find when dosed correctly, I only lose fish if they were full of parasites to begin with or very weak to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 In my opinion… General Cure is kind of like a shotgun approach. I haven’t used it in years and even then I didn’t find it to be the Cure. I found it to have a very low dose of active medication if I’m remembering correctly. Maybe others have had better luck? Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what I am understanding is that I can buy ich x to treat ich for my fish and it would not harm my plecos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted May 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2022 There is always a chance that meds can hurt fish. People can use them improperly, the fish could already be too frail, etc. What I am saying is, Ich X would be the medication I would be using to treat Ich if the fish were in my possession.
