my shark has white spots on his body. he rubs himself on the rocks and ornaments. we are treating for ich (ich-x) but it doesn't seem to be working. my other fish seem fine...any suggestions??????

Ask a vet. If what you are doing is not working and you wait to long it may be too late.

Did you take it to the vet?

What size tank are you housing him in? What is the temp and salt level? Have you fed him any live goldfish or ???

Aren't these the same as a silver tip?

Use 3 times the normal dose of aquarisol. ie instead of 12 drops in 10 gallons use 36 drops in 10 gals. It is ich!

I usually use Wardley's Ick away (it may be called something else now just look for the brand name), it's fairly cheap, can be found in walmart and in my experience always works fairly quicly, also to get rid of ick, I'd reccomend that you do several complete water changes, two to three times a week until the signs of ick are gone, that's what I do with all my freshwater fish. Hope it helps. Angel.

I don't even use meds....i raise the temp a few degrees a day until the ich is gone...right when i see the first signs of ich i raise the temp...ive never let it get out of hand..i dont knwo how bad your case is....raising the temp will quicken the life cycle of the ich virus and therefore will kill it more quick! ichcure works well if this does not

navboi how is your shark now?

What is ick ?

Awesome quote BTW guppy ,lol
