Treatment of Freshwater Ich
Ich, commonly referred to as white spot disease, is basically a parisitic infection that is commonly found on fresh water fish.Although there are various forms of treatment, including anti-biotics, available, I've found that the best way is with something called Aquarium salt, made by doc wellfish.This salt is a natural tonic to fish and helps them fight off this potentially fatal disease.However, the best way to prevent ick in your freshwater tank is through regular maintenance and water changes. I usually change about 25% of my tank's water at least once every 2 weeks, and have not had any type of ich, or other common funguses or diseases, as long as I keep on this cleaning schedule.
