bella Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Dealing with an outbreak of ich in one of my tanks. I am finding that metroplex is working the best. I cannot find it in the city of Edmonton for today's treatment. If you have some or know where it is available please let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelFins Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 If your fish has an Ick, Metroplex won't help them, Metro is intended for protozoan infection. I would suggest to get API Super Ick cure or Hikari Ich-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedOdie Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I heard increase heat and aquarium salt does the trick for ich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JORG Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 For Ick and a lot of other fish problems I find clout to be the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks Jorg, This time I am hoping for metroplex. If this doesn't work I will try clout next time. Is clout hard to get ahold of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 With metroplex you need to dose every two days for up to three weeks .With clout you usually only need to dose for 2-3 days. I think most fish stores sell clout , I always get it online in bulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkSolid Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Another anecdote, but I have used Paraguard on one outbreak in my tank, and one in my fathers and it worked really well. I think I did a 5 day run with it at >80 F for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
