guys. i recently had ick problem. its been about 10 days. Ick meds, temp raised to about 83. Ick is gone now. and all white spots are cleared. But i see that the one fish that had most attack had all nipped and torn fins. and skin does look very dry too. any meds, suppliment would help? they are neon tetras BTW.

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.

no the tank is not cycled. was in the middle of it. should i do frequent water change with stress coat ? in the tank thats middle of cycle, can i put vitachem? i recently bought one bottle? or will it affect cycling?

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