Description

Rid your fish of ich quickly and effectively with API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medicatio. API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medicatio works quickly to heal freshwater fish of icthyophthirius ("Ich") or Cryptocaryon, highly contagious parasitic diseases. Ich, also called white spot disease, is a highly contagious and destructive, microscopic parasite that burrows into gill and skin tissue, causing severe damage and secondary infections. Early symptoms include white spots, darting and scratching against surfaces while more advanced stages can cause labored breathing. This freshwater fish treatment not only helps cure Ich, but it also provides a synthetic slime coat that helps protect against secondary infection, where the natural slime coating of the fish has been disturbed by the parasite. Use at the first sign of "Ich" or white spots. Some scaleless fish are sensitive to this medication, so treat them with 1/2 the normal dose. Some saltwater invertebrates, such as corals, may be sensitive to this product, so it is not recommended for reef aquariums. This medication will cause a slight discoloration of water which can be easily removed by adding activated carbon to the filter. Dose according to directions on product packaging and label. This treatment can be used in freshwater or saltwater aquariums. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium.

  • Works good and fast
Size: 4-Ounce Style: Liquid Pattern Name: Medication
Good price for the size, shipping was fast,and most important it does work, just follow the instructions, I made a huge mistake even when I have been keeping fish for over 15 years and I know better. I went and bought new natural plants for a new set up aquarium, washed the plants with clean water and thought I could put the plants on my old aquarium temporarily while I finish the new aquarium substrate and that was my mistake! Those plants where infected with ICH and my old cycled stable aquarium got infected so now I'm having to treat my tank as I'm starting to see the white spots on my fishes, so a good reminder of the importance of quarantine when you bring home new addition to your fish tank. ... show more

  • Nothing short of an effing MIRACLE!!
Size: 4-Ounce Style: Liquid Pattern Name: Medication
I used this product in my downstairs 38 gallon tank but the outbreak started in my upstairs 65 gallon tank so I will start there. I'm writing this review at around 2:45 a.m. on Monday June 4th. Last Thursday at 2 a.m. I noticed that one of my two electric yellow cichlids in my upstairs 65 gallon tank was laying on his side. I proceeded to move him to a quarantine tank. Nothing else seem to be wrong with any other fish in the tank at that time. At 9 a.m. on Thursday morning the yellow cichlid I had moved to the quarantine tank was dead. Thursday evening I noted that the larger of the two yellow cichlids was covered in fuzzy white patches still no other fish appeared to be sick and I still had no idea what was going on. I moved him to a quarantine tank he died the next morning (Friday). I noticed at that time that several of my Guppies in the same tank started to show tattered fins and I knew I had a larger problem on my hands. In this same tank I have two sterbai Cory cats, two Emerald Cory cats, some cherry Barb's, some gourami, a couple silver dollar fish, and a few tetra. I spent most of Friday morning and part of the afternoon researching and scouring the internet to try and determine what was going on with my fish and what I could do to stop it. I came to the conclusion that I had an outbreak of Ich on my hands and I immediately ordered this API product to be delivered the next day (Saturday). However I felt desperate to do something in the meantime so that I wouldn't lose any more fish so I continued to research and found that using high temperatures and or salt addition to the water could be useful. So I increased the temperature of this tank from 76 to 86 degrees (gradually) I also prepared a mixture of two teaspoons of salt for every gallon of water in the tank. I didn't have aquarium salt but I did have pure pink Himalayan salt which I ground up very finely and dissolved in warm water before gradually adding the solution to the tank. And then I turn the lights off to reduce stress. I know that about 90% of the forms online indicate that you should never add salt to a tank with Cory cats. However there are some out there that have had success with using salt in tanks with certain types of Cory cats I will say that mine seem to be doing very well with the salt addition, along with everybody else in the tank. The treatment seems to be a success as everybody else in the tank is doing very well and the Guppies that were exhibiting signs of ich have since started to heal. NOW... the feedback that you really care about which is about this product. Friday evening I noticed that one of my fancy goldfish in my downstairs 38gal tank appeared to have a slight whitish film on his fins and I noted that my yellow cichlid in that same tank had one small white puffball on his fins and it was pretty clear that somehow, I still don't know how, the ich spread to my downstairs tank. But at this point there was only a very small piece on one cichlid and only a little bit on one goldfish. In this tank I have five fancy goldfish, one sterbai catfish, one yellow cichlid, and one Keyhole cichlid. Obviously goldfish being more cold water fish I knew that I couldn't use the extremely high temperature approach I did with my upstairs tank which left me in a very tough position. They're tank I usually keep at 75 degrees. I knew that my order of this API product would be here the next day (Saturday) but I still felt desperate. I raised the water temperature to 82 gradually and went to bed. The next morning all of my goldfish were covered in white film and all of their eyes were covered in a white cloudy film. By11:30am Saturday one of my goldfish had died. My Amazon order arrived at around that same day at around 2:45pm. I immediately administered the recommended dose and removed my active carbon filters and turned the lights off I kept the temperature at 82 degrees. I decided not to put this treatment in the upstairs tank since the salt water and high temps seem to be working. The recommendation was to continue the high temp therapy for 2 weeks then slowly return the tank back to normal temperature. Ok....I KID YOU NOT... at 8pm on Saturday I checked on the fish in my goldfish tank (5 hours after adding API Super Ich) and all of the goldfish had cleared up!! no white film on bodies.. no cloudy eyes and the puffball had fallen off of the yellow cichlid. 5 hours!! If I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't have believed it! It's just simply amazing. I am going to continue with the recommended application which suggests another application 48 hours from the original application and then doing a water change and resuming as normal... but I am simply in awe! ... show more

  • Takes about 12 to 24 hours but works great
Size: 4-Ounce Style: Liquid Pattern Name: Medication
It's always important to try and change your tank water once a week minimum once a month not the whole thing I use a pail and take about 3 gallons out of my 10 gallon tank I add water safe and put them back one gallon at a time every half hour. I add this and the next day my water is crystal clear

  • Worked for me, be mindful of what amount you put
Size: 4-Ounce Style: Liquid Pattern Name: Medication
So yes, my betta fish had an 'ich' infection and I immediately went to the internet to get medicine for him. I was hesitant on buying this because of the reviews. But it worked well for me and heres what you need to know about the product to make it work. Remember, YOU buy the medicine, YOU are responsible for pouring the correct dose and to monitor the pet YOU have. That being said, yes this product stains. It leaves a bluish tint to some decor (like leaf hammock suction cups and will slightly tint the glass blue. But in my opinion it doesnt matter, even looks better on the glass. This product shouldn't be used in large amounts if your fish has an open wound. And if you must, use VERY small amounts because it can and will burn the open wounds. Ex: use half of the amount it says on the bottle and always make sure to stir the medicine in the tank to distribute it. It helps to raise the tank temperature a BIT to hasten recovery, but not necessary. Monitor your little buddy! Its not worth buying this product if you're just going to kill your fish with your inexperience. So take caution ... show more

  • This treatment really works fast!
Size: 4-Ounce Style: Liquid Pattern Name: Medication
Use SUPER ICK CURE right away when you see white dots on your fish. Mine also were laying on the bottom of the tank like they did not have energy plus their poop was whitish and not firm. Most of the dots disappeared within 48 hours and the fish were back to normal swimming happily as before. I applied one more doze as directed on bottle to make sure it's all gone. I also raised the temperature in the tank to 83-84 and used aquarium salt with the first super ick cure application. I would like to add that I previously lost a few fish trying to treat them with natural products, very sad, but it did not work. So do not wait! Starting the treatment right away is essential. ... show more
