Recently my clown fish had ich bad . So I had some colloidal sliver laying around and decided to dose the fish with colloidal silver. I took my two clown fish and put them in a 2 gallon bucket full with saltwater. I dosed 1 tablespoon of colloidal silver every two hours (4 times total ) 24 HOURS later I checked the fish they still had some spots left on them but most of the parasite was gone. So I then added the fish back into my display tank in within a day all the spots were gone and the fish look great. Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic and anti-parasitic once it is digested by the fish they have the silver in their system and it stays there and gets rid of all parasites.
Colloidal silver has become like my coral dip but for fish. I no longer have ich because all new fish I get I let them sit in a colloidal silver based water for a couple hours and the ich never develops when I added them to my display tank.
Warning never add colloidal silver to any tank . Since the silver is a antibiotic it will kill all the natural bacteria in the tank the good ones and the bad. The best is to put them in a container or bucket while silver does its magic.
I hope this helps it worked for me and I want to share this personal discovery with the marine community:smile:
I am providing a before and after of my clown fish and the colloidal silver i used .
I also added a pic of my tank hope you guys enjoy
