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?
