Best relief for bad ich case in early TTM

How's he doing this morning?

Doing very well. Most of the spots on his body are healing nicely. A lot around his face right now though. But, he is swimming and acting completely normal and even ate frozen food last night, along with the nori I put in.

I also haven't noticed the anus issue anymore, and he looks less bloated. I meant to put in some PraziPro this morning but forgot..... I will start that up next time I do a 3-day period of TTM (have been doing 2-day so far).

Because of how bad this case of Ich was, I am going to do a 2nd round of TTM. I know it likely isn't necessary, but it gives me the chills looking at how much in there, so will help with my paranoia!

He looked awful the first two days, this is definitely a big win in my books! The vendor is quite happy too as I have a 14-day guarantee! Expensive fish!
 
The second round of TT is unnecessary from an ich perspective but will help the fish recover without the stress of other fish around. A good opportunity for Prazi and for building up the fish's eating response.
 
Update:
All the fish made it (including the PT)!

I am 5 days after TTM ended now, and the only problem is that one of the YT's has some white spots starting to show up on its face and fins... hard to tell if it is just skin abrasion or not. There are also bumps forming on the body of a couple.

Not taking any chances, and need to observe them for another few weeks anyway, so will be doing a 2nd pass at TTM. No harm and I would be paranoid by those white spots otherwise.

I posted a different post about some blotches on the skin of a couple. But could just be that it was near night time; didn't seem near as bad this morning... regardless am keeping my eyes peeled.

I finished one round of Prazi and will be doing my 2nd round in a few days.
 
all made it, i was extremely surprised. the ich got to the point where you couldn't even see any purple on the PT... i was almost in tears watching them (were several YT's in QT also).

the only bad part was when I finally added them to my 450g DT, the other Tang's went ballistic on the new arrival Tang's... most were cut up pretty bad, and I was yet again pretty sure most of them would die... felt awful. But, a couple days passed by, and even now 3 months later everyone in the tank is swimming around together peacefully. Lots of stress that first month!
