I am an ich expert! Experience is everything. Every time I would add a fish it seemed Ich would affect the fish. Kick Ich is the answer for me. Your fish may be too far gone but remember it for the future.

I now do a Hydroplex dip for 10 minutes on new fish. I prophylactically treat with kick ich one dose and watch very carefully. This product is safe to use with corals fish invertebrates etc.

Sometimes you don't see spots. You may notice a fish gets more gray kinda pale looking or you might notice they smack themselves on rocks.

Another solution I was given by my lfs is to have 2 heaters . Any flux in temps will cause stress.

I do not have a quaranteen tank. I don't have the room or the patience to handle 2 tanks.

PS how does anyone recommend getting your fish out of there. I have never been able to catch a fish with all the live rock catching on everything. Guess this is a suggestion pertinent to those with small tanks.
Hope this helps. I have lots of problems and few solutions, but I haven't had ich since I started doing the above.
