Here's a good article on Ich.
I see a lot of people posting about it lately and I was thinking that there should be an ich sticky on the best ways to treat it.

1. You can medicate.
2. You can use salt and water changes.
3. You can raise the temperature to 82F and use frequent water changes.

Anything else anyone wants to add, please feel free.

Reading how ICK lives may also help.

I heard that not feeding will help the fish fight it off better, but dont quote me on that, as i am not sure it was ick.

Im just curious, but when the fish dies of ich, and say 1-2 days past without watch or care, will white cobweb like stuff wrap around the fish? cause a friend of mine, fish died from white spots and they couldnt get the remedy in time cause they were all busy.

Did the fish possibly have fungus instead of ick?
