Review: Safe for fish and plants (and snails when used right) - Cured my 20 gal tank of ich, and didnt affect my plants. Took out my nerite snails and treated them with a lighter dose and they are just fine! no deaths and everybody is doing great months later. Did dye the silicone slightly but nothing that noticeable
Review: Best ich treatment available!! - It works!! I had an ich outbreak in my tank and this took care of it. Do yourself a favor and just order this even if you don’t have ich yet - the shipping takes several days and I was tormented watching my fish decline until it arrived. It took until day 4 of treatment to see improvement, and now on day 5 it’s almost totally gone. And my Amano shrimp and snails have survived through the in-tank treatment, and no fish (a female betta and 6 ember tetras) succumbed to the parasite. Follow the instructions to the letter, and remember that even if you have, say, a 10 gallon tank, unless you fill to the brim and have zero decoration (evaluate your life), you should account for your actual water volume in the tank when dosing Ich-X. So I guesstimated I had closer to 8 gallons of water, and did about 4ml of Ich-X instead of the 5ml for 10 gallons. The measuring cap it comes with is a little tough to be precise with small mL volume, so maybe get a separate measuring pipette or something, but I eyeballed it and had success. Also, aerate!! I turned my tank temp up to 82, which lowers oxygen in my water. I have a HOB filter but also panic-ordered a little stone bubbler for the treatment as well, and I think it helped. Fish often die of ich due to suffocation as it infects their gills. Finally, just poke a hole through the foil cap and squeeze out what you need. Way less blue mess that way. This is considered the best ich treatment available, for good reason. I’ll never be without it again. 10/10

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how quickly do you see improvements?  This is day 3 for me and not seeing much improvement yet.**
A: Ich medicine can only kill the ich when it’s free swimming. The ich rotates in a life cycle. When you see the white dots on your fish there is ich feeding on your fish’ skin. The individual parasite leaves the skin eventually falls to the substrate and multiplies. Then all the new parasites release into the water looking for a fish(free swimming stage) and this is the only time they are vulnerable to medicine. This whole life cycle takes multiple days probably a week. So I’m not surprised you don’t see improvement after 3 days. Just making this comment so other people will see this and be informed that ich is a lengthy treatment and it doesn’t matter what medicine you’re using because they’re all only effective when the ich is free swimming.

**Q: does this only kill the ich that is on the fish and not the cysts that lie in the gravel**
A: It does not kill Inch on the fish or the cysts in the substrate. It only kills the swimmers that hatch from the cysts. That is why you must go thru the complete cycle.

**Q: directions kind of confused me, on the second day after doing 1/3 water change, do I do full initial dosage again? does clarify.**
A: When I replace the 1/3 water I add a full dosage of ich x along with Prime or dechlor product to help fish coat. This works for me.

**Q: What are the ingredients   duh?**
A: From the label: "Contains: water; formaldehyde (<5%), methanol (<2%), malachite green chloride (<0.1%)."

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing
*by C***Z on February 5, 2026*

This ich medicine worked really well when I had ick in my fish tank and it saved the new fish I had bought. This brand of ick medicine is also great if you have scaleless fish (like loaches) or snails because this medicine (unlike api ick medicine) won’t kill your scaleless fish or snails. This will my go to brand just make sure you follow the instructions or you may kill your fish like I have done before unfortunately.
