I have updated the popular AAP article:
"Aquarium Ich Disease | Ichthyophthirius Multifilis & Cryptocaryon in Fish; Treatment, Identification, and Life Cycle"
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Aquarium_Ich.html
Here are a couple of excerpts:
"As common as this disease is, there is also a lot of misunderstanding and often down right misinformation. Stress is correctly recognized as a major factor in ich infestation outbreaks, however causes of this stress are not always recognized. "
AND:
"For freshwater, a Malachite Green/Formalin or Malachite Green/Quinine Hydrochloride combination are generally the most effective for moderate to severe infestations.
“Quick Cure” was a good product with the first combination of medications (Malachite Green/ Formalin), and from my test is one of the strongest with a wider range of parasites treated as well. Unfortunately, this product has been discontinued.
However, Super Ich Plus has been brought back by AAP and now is the strongest available combination, using a unique Malachite Green/Quinine Hydrochloride combination. It is noteworthy that Quinine Hydrochloride makes Super Ich Plus a more broader spectrum single cell ectoparasite treatment.
If you are having trouble effecting a cure for Ich, besides the obvious looking into optimizing water parameters and checking for secondary infection, this is the treatment you SHOULD BE USING!
Super Ich Plus can be used at 1/4 dose with Medicated Wonder Shells with sensitive fish or as a follow up."
