Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Is the tank cycled?
Usually pristine water, frequent water changes, some extra stress coat or Fish Protector, Garlic Guard (or a couple drops of garlic juice) and Vita-chem will help prevent infection with out having to use meds.
If he's being picked on you might want to move him to a Q tank.

Glad the ICH is gone.

I don't think it will effect the cycle.
Since the tank isn't cycled, daily water changes are in order.
