Had QT setup for Fish coming in I used it and treated them. Unfortunately I returned them to the DT too soon and had to then tear down entire tank start over with treatment for all the fish. Wish I had taken the time up front what a hassle breaking down a tank that was working well up to then.
 
I have 2 words for you: CLEANER WRASSE. It did wonders for my tank, All the other fish love this guy! Best addition to any tank!

Cleaners fish or shrimp, can't help with most parasites. They do nothing for ich. The parasites are buried well out of their reach and the "whitespot' is not the actual parasite. Cleaners may nibble on some of the parasite's secretions and dead tissue, but cannot help with the ich itself. This has been shown in stomach content studies as well as just knowledge of ich and the ich life-cycle.
