nice tank

sometimes you can never really get rid of it. Just have to keep your fish healthy and immune systems strong. One mistake I made was changing my water and not warming it up. It was always cold going in and dropped my temp 3 degrees instantly. I usually do 20 gallon water changes.. to warm my water I throw it in the bath tub with hot water.. I check the temp after 20 min and pull it out when its at the 78 area. Its tough but I do it because I hate losing fish to Ich and I wouldn't be able to stomach another death. Other than that, just feed your fish some garlic soaked food when in qt and keep a watchful eye. Hope that helps.

raise your temperture in the tank slowly untill it gets to 84 degrees F then leave it there for two weeks.

Maryann your information says you dont know about the nitrogen cycle..so you may have a combination of things going on...

http://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm read that link and follow it for a cycle with fish...

If you indeed do have ich, turning up the temp to 83 degrees for two weeks will kill it...goodluck !
