Customers say
Customers find the ich treatment effective, with one mentioning it worked well in a 125-gallon freshwater tank. Moreover, the product is safe for fish and inverts, and customers appreciate its fast action and good price. However, they report that it stains filters blue.

Good to have it just in case
Iâve used this product two years ago and it worked flawlessly. Just follow the instructions and ick has never been easier to deal with.Would buy again

Very effective for ich
Used it in combination with temperature increase and aquarium salt. It took me longer than other reviews mentioned here. I used for total of 8 days but I had a very severe case of Ich. Took 5 for White spots to clear off fish and as instructed used for additional 3 days. Changed 25-30% water before each applicationProcess may take longer for For fish that cannot tolerate higher temperature, of 86 and above.Will turn water blue upon each application, but notice that it dissipates after a few hours.This will be my go to for prevention during quarantine and treatment!

Should be a part of every aquarists tool kit
No one want’s to deal with Ich. Unfortunately when buying new stock, a lot fish are infested with this common parasite, which of course will leave the fish open to secondary infections. Ich-X effectively treats Ich, fungal infections, and other external parasites.I have found Ich-X to be one of the best and safest treatments if fish present signs of Ich during quarantine. Do yourself a favor and research the highest temperature your fish can tolerate and raise the temperature to that level over the course of a couple days during treatment. The Ich will need to be in it’s theront stage, the higher temperature will accelerate the lifecycle. At 79′ this will require 3-5 days treatment. For higher success rate, use aquarium salt in conjunction with your medication if possible.

Best ICH Medicine
Great stuff. Follow the directions and you will be pleased with the results. My fish had a pretty bad case of ich. Because I used Ich X, I was able to save all of them. Now they are quite happy and healthy. Be aware that the methylene blue ingredient will likely stain any silicone sealant and suction cups that you have in your tank. Likewise, it will stain your fingers, furniture, carpeting, and clothing. So be aware of those possibilities. All that said, I highly recommend this medication. Buy this product and save your fish.

Awesome product
We learned about this product on Youtube. It had been a week before we realized we had a problem, then had to wait 2 days for Ich X to arrive. We followed the instructions and used it daily for two days and we noticed no more cysts on our beta, Platie, red tetras, or dwarf gouramies. The first Fish we noticed with cysts was our rubber lipped plecho, and he died before treatment. We also lost a red tetra. We see that our rainbow fish seems paranoid, and our panda cat seem a little lethargic. Mystery snails are holding up so far. Plan to update if any other negative things present themselves. We don’t like that it turns tank’s clear caulk turquoise.

Does the job!
Bought a rather expensive fish (freshwater puffer), and I began to notice some small ick spots. This treatment took care of it with just a few treatments, and it has not been back since! I felt confident to use this to treat the entire tank without feeling nervous for the safety of the fish and plants.
