I have a fish in my tank that has developed Ick and was just wondering if the freshwater dip is something that works or if it will be too harmful to my fish. The fish is a Niger trigger.
Ok thanks for the help. I also read that some fish will get rid of the ick on their own as well and just giving them time can be a cure in and of itself? any truth to this or just another myth?
Many fish recover when left alone, but they still have ich, and will still give it to other fish. It's just dormant. If the fish gets stressed, that's when the ich will come out again. As others have said, your tank is too small for a trigger. Not providing a fish a large enough tank is a sure fire way to stress them and make them sick.
