I've had sucess with taking a fish and droping him into fresh water for 2
or
3 seconds. The different gravity pops the ick where the fish can be
re-introduced back into the tank. I havn't had any loss of stock by doing
this, you hvae to be careful not to leave ur fish in the freshwater too
long though.. they get stressed over it..

Didn't you just take them out of fresh water?

I used aquarium salt bush, so that temperature. Stay 80, I used a small plastic storage bag with a few holes and clamp it side of the tank and let it slowly disappeared. The Ni seems to reverse and did not think they are doing well with the way the temperature.

This method is not practical, it sounds fine in theory. The biggest trap, using this method, you must first catch of fish from the tanks, and it is not easy to catch them, unless you have a bare bottom tank, no coral, no landscaping.
