It recovers but now Ich has came back on this one gold fish , really bad, i dunno wat Else to try , any suggestions?Only one goldfish keeps getting Ick, how can i treat it?There's no use isolating 1 fish that has ich. By the time you see the ich, it is spread in the entire water. It is contagious, and you should treat the entire tank with medicine. The easiest way to cure your tank of ich is to leave it empty for a month, and during this period raise the temperature to 85 degree F. Leaving a tank empty will kill your Nitrogen Cycle (in 3 days) so just add some ammonia in the tank every other day to keep it alive.



I am recommending that because a few goldfish in a 100 L is an overstock. It's roughly 20 gallons (US) and at best a 20 gallon can hold 1 fancy only. Chances are your fish supplier was the source of the ich, and I would consider changes sources.Only one goldfish keeps getting Ick, how can i treat it?I suggest reading this http://thegab.org/Illness-and-Treatment/ and maybe look at some other info they have. Best of luck to you.Only one goldfish keeps getting Ick, how can i treat it?dont keep it with other fishes.... just shift that one to an hospital tank and just add the madicine...dont forget to add some salt in the tank which makes the bacteria kill...

when that fish is fully cured... if u think it is cured then shift to the main tankOnly one goldfish keeps getting Ick, how can i treat it?Remove live aquatic plants. The treatment can harm or kill live aquatic plants.

Preform a partial water change and achieve optimal water parameters.

Temporarily increase the water temperature to 75-80*F (24-27*C). This encourages the ich parasite to speed up its life cycle. The sub-epithelial ich parasites will burst out of the skin and fall to the bottom of the tank where thousands of new free-swimming parasites will search out a host. It is only during this swarmer stage that ich can be treated.

Add a .03% concentration of aquarium salt; one teaspoon per every gallon of water. Aquarium salt is readily available at local pet stores. It is important to treat the entire tank not only the infected goldfish. Avoid using a quarantine tank.

Over the next 24 hour repeat step 4, in 12 hour increments for a total of three doses of aquarium salt. (It is common for ich to get worse before it starts to get better.)

Leave the aquarium salt in the treated goldfish tank for two weeks then preform a 50-75% water change.

Add a protective stress coat solution to encourage a healthy slime coat and immune system of the goldfish.





Good Luck!
