Agreed, everyone makes mistakes, there was no need to have gone to that level of hostility, misreading or otherwise.To be honest I would have said the same thing if you were right. I don't know why people are so caustic on the internet and I was feeling feisty.
Glass houses, he who is without sin, etc. I'm sure we've all made a mistake that unfortunately resulted in the death of a fish. And as someone else said, if you say you haven't, you're lying. You chose to berate someone asking for help. Literally doing that research you quite rudely suggested they do. Not a good look.@sfin52 ,@ross0201
I need to take my spanking for misread @Purple•Tang first post.
My misread and resulting misunderstand cause me to think that Purple•Tang treatment regiment is highly toxic and not helpful. I suggest that he need to do better research on fish treatment or else not trying to keep fish.
I did apologize to him.
Sorry again to Purple•Tang, and any other reefers who were offended by my comments.
OP, I find Seachem to be a very reputable company. However, I highly doubt ParaGuard treats Ich effectively, and completely. As noted, neither does a freshwater dip really. Is the tang still alive? Did you aerate both the dip and ParaGuard bath? PH match the freshwater dip? I think the biggest takeaway is, ICH isn't an immediate death sentence, so it doesn't require knee jerk reactions to treat. With anything, it is best to formulate a well put together plan of treatment, then execute, rather than trying to react as things come. A separate QT would be most appropriate, and if it is ICH, a fallow tank will be needed.
