Default Ich Outbreak!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would recommend using Quick Cure at half dose instead of AquariSol.
Aquarisol is a very weak medication and often won't work fast enough
when you have an outbreak of Ich.
It's also a copper medication. Many aquarists believe that there is no
truly safe copper, as it's a toxic substance to fish.
Some fish are more sensitive to copper and can have bad reactions to
it.
Aquarisol also works slower than Q.C.
=============================
I hate to mix two meds. I wonder if it would be safe to use the Quick Cure
after 24 hours of adding the AquaraSol?!?!?!

And tonight I noticed something is biting the tails off the 3 neons. One has
no tail fin left. Some of the other fish also have small bites out of their
tails. I'm thinking it's the redtail rasboras.... a fish impossible to
catch in a planted tanks. When I watch them I don't see any of the fish
biting each other.............

I think I need a few Excedrin. :-(
