And also do alot small water change When I have ich over on my loaches tank I usually just raise the temperature to 90 and then do 25% waterchange every 2-3 days to vacum gravel and take out any free swim parasite attach to my gravel. Good luck to ya.

If so, people should reply to the other post as it is further advanced in the timeline than this one because you are already treating for Ich.
