	Ich ?!?!?!?! Help
Jillieillie Hobbyist Posts: 63 Kudos: 70 Votes: 0 Registered: 20-Jan-2005	My boyfriend's fish have white spots on them (well only two of the fish do) and they keep rubbing up against each other and the ornaments. How do we get rid of this?!?!?! He has 6 cichlids and a catfish. He wants to treat it tonight but what is the right way to take care of this?! PLEASE HELP!

It won't do much good to treat the Ich without correcting the problem that brought it on. Otherwise it will just come back. Make sure what ever types of meds you decide on that they are safe for all the occupants of the tank.
