| I like heat and Ick Guard from Jungle. Ick Guard 2 works great as well. Only problem is that most treatments will stain tank stuff if you are not careful. Best way is to avoid ich all together and keep up with water changes and observe your fish often. | |

| Aquari Sol does not stain the tank.
I agree with Vman on this product. | |

| Almost all ick cures contain copper, malachite, formalin, ect.........They are all about the same in the end.............................They will kill plants, fish with small scales (Tetras and Loaches), and crustaceans (shrimp, snails, ect..........................BUT, they are the best if used cautiously per the instructions. | |

| Quick cure can be used in 1/2 dose for plants inverts and what not, I always use the half dose and haven't had it affect any of the mentioned critters. |
