Qt him ASAP! Set up a easy small tank or bucket what ever and dose copper! feed garlic in everything!

Fastest way is to crank up the heat....around 82....that is if you can't isolate him. Otherwise do it the way Kris says.

If he's eating feed either Metro and focus or go with Dr. G's premade brand.

+1 that's the safest way to do it if your fish is still eating. It also will not cause more stress to the fish by trying to catch and qt it.

If its simple ich, moving him to a different system to treat is kinda pointless. Itll just stress the poor thing more. Metro and focus in food has always worked for me.

Agreed, but I'd still crank the heat up...

Isn't it at 82 degrees that Ick becomes free swimmers?
