| You need to set up a hospital Tank, for the fish. What fish has the ich? |

| The best thing to control Ich from happening is buying a uv sterilizer. They're aren't cheap, but it kills the parasites in your water. I've had a couple fish die from ich even after putting them in a hospital tank. I figured at the price of each fish in the long run the uv sterilizer is cheaper. I han't had a problem since. |

| if you have a reef tank dont use a uv sterilizer all the time it will also kill good bacteria you need for the reef. i used mine about 10 hrs a day at first and droped the time down to 4-5 hrs a day one the ich started to go away. after the ich was gone i still ran uv for about a month and havent seen anything since |
