find out why they are stressing or malnourished...
well, that's what i tell everyone... but srsly, quarantine and treat with something... you can even do like a copper dip fallowed by a saltwater dip, and then throw them back in... but most likely, if the fish has it, then it's living in the sand or water column...

ya, well I heard every tank has ick. I think the blue got it as the yellow was hassling him as they are trying to figure out the pecking order. I think it is established, however, they still have like 5 or 6 white-ish bumps on them.
Also, I doubt I will be able to get them out of my display with our tearing it apart again! What is the easiest way? Fish Trap?

Hey mike I use this product each time and usually only have to dose once a day for 3-4 days. It has worked every time:
Kordon Aquaherbals ich Attack 100% organic and reef safe
Also use Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 marine pellets (has seaweed and garlic) I normally feed throughout the week to prevent lateral line and ich.
Either way, good luck with the fishies:fish:

True it's an old thread but seeing what has or has not worked in another's personal experience can be very beneficial, IMO.
ICK is a very common problem, and what I have seen, finding the cause of the original stress is the only guaranteed fix. All the others are great, but most likely only temporary if the original problem remains.
I have not had ick in years, but I found the cleaner shrimp as the most effective and successful way to treat. They have a good history of success in our tanks and are also nice to look at. They are also a good preventive measure, IMO...
Cleaner wrasses have very poor success rates in our tanks so stay away from them.
I feed garlic regularly, not just to fix, and I also believe that has been a huge benefactor in my not having to deal with ICK or stress...
