Ich/Ick medication recommendations?

[8401_3]

Hi Everyone!

 

This is my first post on the "aquarium coop forum" and I'm coming with a disease on my betta fish called ich or ick. It comes in the form of white/gold "dust-like" spots, which are tiny and they can fall off, because it's actually a parasite that latches onto fish (and thankfully not humans). I watched a few videos on how to cure this, but I didn't find much. (Can't figure out what this one means) Any suggestions on medication/treatment? Thanks!!!

Welcome to the forum 😄!! I hope you are having a good day. Ich/Ick is normally a pretty easy to fight off parasitic disease. I would recommend you to purchase some Ich-X. It's extremely cheap and effective. Here is the link on the Aquarium Co-op website- https://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/aquarium-solutions-ich-x?variant=31586715435077. Also here is a photo of how do dose it which is located on the back of the bottle.

Ich-X is a great treatment, and is very effective. One thing to mention is to make sure you treat for 3-7 days AFTER the last sign of visible ick on the fish. This way it doesn't have a chance to come back, based on the parasites life cycle.

Ich is quite common across Nano Fish and Ich-X is always reliable from what I hear. 🙂
