fish ich disease question?

[lolaaatt]

is it true that once a fish is in "advanced stages" of ich it cant be cured?

[MickeyPe]

No, read here and Treat with salt not meds. The meds may stress fish enough to kill them if its a bad out break. Best of luck.

Read the whole thing.

nah you can cure it but it doesnt always work. also the medication you buy for it might be expensive so decide how much you like your fish first

[jandismommie]

No! Go and buy aquarium salt. Read the back and it will tell you how much to put in for the size of your tank. Every time I have put it in I only lost 1 or 2 fish.
