Can you help

Lupin

You miss my point. Ich or white spot is parasitic in nature, therefore, regardless of the status of the infected, your other fish will still carry them and ich will once again make a full blown appearance as your fish succumbs to stress-related factors.

I'll link you to this topic so you can read why your fish shoukd still be treated and why I suggested salt as an alternative.
White Spot, Ich ((Ichthyophthirius multifiliis) - Read information!

LOL! Why not just get a cleaner that does not require mouth suction? A python I think? I dont live in US. Been there, done that but nothing harmful although it is still unsanitary.

I have to disagree with Byron on this one. Aggressive gravel vac is very important while using formalin/malachite green treatments for ich, as the medication's effecacy is dramatically lessened by the presence of organics. Yes, normally aggressive gravel vac is not indicated in moderately or heavily planted tanks. But in this case, heavy water changes with thorough gavel vac is as important as the medication.

Also, putting your tank into darkness while using formalin/malachite green medications can be very effective.

Here is the link to (arguably) the best site about Ich: Ich | The Skeptical Aquarist

We're not disagreeing...I was commenting in general, no reference to the medication which didn't even occur to me.

Looks good. Could do a PWC with nitrates at 20ppm, but you're right where you want to be! Just don't do anything crazy like adding a bunch of fish all at once and you should be fine.

Agreed on doing a PWC, wait 24 hours after doing it and re-test your nitrate, you should find it has gone down to about 10ppm or less.

Remember Patience is the key
