I have two puffer fish with ICK what is the best treatments for them2007-11-24 23:36:39Answers:

Puffer fish require more then just salt to survive. Use marine salt has it has all the trace elements that are also necessary for them to stay healthy. Add one teaspoon/gallon now, again tomorrow, and again the next day. Wait two days and change half of the water, wait another three days and change half of the water again. Make sure the water you add is the same temp as the tank or you will add additional stress to the fish.

they sell some tablets for that at the pet store.

if your puffers are kept in fresh water, add some salt (not table salt, aquarium salt). add about 1 teaspoon per 2 gallons. Add this amount slowly, over the course of a few days. Puffers are brackish fish, and the lack of salt in the water is causing them to get sick. A little fungus medication plus a good slime coat additive might help the guys recover faster.

if they're salt water puffers, then use the medication and slime coat additives, dont add more salt.

ICk medication. You can by it at the pet store. But once they have it its hard to get rid of it.

I used a product called Ick Clear which contains Victoria Green. This was effective in ridding my fish of Ick.

Use a scale-less ick treatment (which is found in you local store). also, get some sort of water conditioner (which heals skin)

do a water change and get some drops from the pet store~~
