need advise

[naz42]

I got a new fish and 3 days later he had ich.(I know i should have quarintined).So i set up a hospitol tank(with copper power) and took all my fish out and quarintined them and was gonna leave them for 6 weeks for the ich to die off in my main tank.Two days after i put them in the QT one fish died and now on day 4 another looks like its gonna die.I have had both these fish for a while and niether had ich when i put them in QT.Im wondering if i should just try put the fish back in my display since it seems like there dying anyways.I lost my last new fish to ich a while back so i know that ich has been in my tank for a while and not been affecting my fish just this new one.The new one has no more signs of ich.im thinking of putting them back in the display tank before anymore die and if the ich comes back ill do the full 6 weeks of QT.I will probably leave the one fish that had the ich in copper treatment for a week or so

I have never like to use a treatment for ich that contains copper, too dangeous in IMO. Do some water changes and replace the filters in the QT and get yourself some "Kick Ich" treatment, all natural. I used this stuff in my main tank with verts and inverts and it worked great!! It is a little expensive but you can rest easy that it will not kill if you use the schedule/dose recommended. I keep it on hand in the large bottle, but I have never had another outbreak of Ich. Good luck
