8401_3 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 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!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Playz Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikv6 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitstuk Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Ich is quite common across Nano Fish and Ich-X is always reliable from what I hear. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
