Nox-Ich Classic Ich Remedy

Ich is one of the most prevalent diseases of fish. It is caused by a microscopic single-celled protozoan that causes white spots in the skin and gills of the fish. Alteration of the protective skin of the fish by ICH allows opportunistic bacteria or fungi invasion and the fish can die from secondary causes.

The best control of ich is prevention. New plants or fish can easily introduce ich to your pond. One of the best preventative measure is to treat your pond for ich before adding new plants, fish or in the spring when ich is most prevalent.

Malachite green is a well known and old remedy that has been used to successfully treat not only ich but ectoparasites (gill flukes) as well as bacteria and fungal infections.
