I'm using Kick Ich to treat my tank because my Hippo came down with a case of white spot last week. (I think probably as a result of some trouble I was having keeping tank temperature down at the beginning of the hot days).
I was trying to get the hippo out to do hyposalinity because he wasn't getting better in the tank, but he's a slick bastard, so I'm treating the tank with K.I.
I started yesterday (thanks Keith for bringing it by here!) and the hippo has fewer small lesions, but most of the large lesions are still there. I'll keep people posted on how this treatment goes.
So far the only side effect I've noticed is that today there are a lot of dead pods floating in the water. There are still a lot of pods alive in the fuge and on the glass in the corners of the tank, but I've never noticed dead ones blowing around in the display before. Has anyone ever seen that before? I guess maybe it would make sense that some of these little guys are susceptible to whatever is in the K.I. product to kill the Ich parasites.
