QuickCure is great for eliminating Ich in its free-swimming stage, but it
is not magic. I have seen a number of sick fish resist treatment and
succumb to the infestation anyway. A successful treatment is not only
based on proper dosing, but also on the quality of the environment, as well
as the level of stress and overall health of the affected fish.



QuickCure has an extremely long shelf life. We buy it in bulk in large
gallon jugs that last several years.


I'll have to disagree with you about Quick Cure being magic.
As long as you treat for a full week. I know it only says 3 days on the
bottle, but we all know the cycle of Ich is longer than 3 days. Treat
for a week and the Ich is gone like magic. = )
As for Q.C. having a long shelf life, I believe it was one of the regs
here that said it after it was opened it had a shorter lifespan.
The only time I've had no luck with Q.C. was on a Clown Loach. I used a
half dose (done this before with good results) and nothing. The Loach
died from such a bad infestation.
However, I was told at that time here that it was possible the Q.C. was
old.
I said it had been opened and sitting there for near 2 yrs I think.
I was then told it was probably old and not useful anymore.
So....who's the answers on Qucik Cure's shelf life?
As in from the manufactor?
