Hello all,
I've noticed that there have been a lot of posts about ich lately, and I talked to a couple people at the last meeting that mentioned ich, as well. I'm currently treating my tanks for ich.
Reading through the threads, it seems that there is a lot of suggestions, guessing and mis-information. One poster even asked: "why hasn't more research been done on this topic?" I have taken the liberty of collecting some links to thorough articles that cite their sources (some of which are scientific treatments!). I've been sitting on most of these for a while, since I had my last outbreak, but I think they can be beneficial to the club as a whole.
If anybody has more references, I'd love to see them!
I don't think I'm going to summarize, because the articles speak for themselves. That said, here they are!
