happened today as this morning they were all fine. My poor clown loaches
are covered, the other fish have some..... what's recommended with clown
loaches that's safe? :*(

 Are you in the Uk? If so Waterlife's ich treatment, (think it's called
Protozin) is safe for clown loaches if used at half dose.My husband has used
it in his tank in the past and his clowns have been fine.

===========================
I'm in the USA and used AquarSol last night. I see an improvement already.
I also have several other products but they're harsher and I still have 3
neon's aside from the clown loaches. But thanks for the suggestion.

I'll add my sigfile back. :-)

There was an article in TFH a while back that treated ich by raising
temperatures and moving fish back and forth between two tanks, thus
interrupting the life cycle of the parasite.

Perhaps someone else has the article or remembers more of the details.

============================
That's impossible with a heavily planted 55g tank and a lot of speedy
tetras. What we can't understand is WHERE did the ich come from?!?!?!?!
This isn't supposed to happen. If a oocyte didn't live over for several
weeks somehow, then it came from the frozen food I just bought for them a
few days ago. >:-(
