@DogWarrior327 Not a good idea. Have you ever heard of a brain eating amoeba that humans can get? While it may not be the brain eating type ich is an amoeba. I wouldn't want to get that too close to your face.

Do you still feed your fish when it's being treated for ich

but clown loaches are prone to ick cause they have no scales. they just have a smooth skin

[TheChrisTelevision]

4 of my clown loaches got ick and i belive they will die soon

[guaba1216]

@InXCtinC some times is not ick they do get something that looks like ick that if you use ick medication it will not work

@guaba1216 This is true. It's unreal the amount of times people will misdiagnose a fish disease automatically assuming that it is ich.
