In the past 6 months, I think many well intentioned, but misguided fish owners have killed more fish trying to cure ich than the ich itself has. This is what's so maddeningly frustrating for those of us who have managed to battle this with no treatment and have never lost a fish to disease. If you doubt that my fish had ich, go to the first page of this thread and have a look. If any fish should have died from ich, it was him, yet he's still here over 2-1/2 years later. I agree with Mr.T that many times it is mis-diagnosed and I believe that people end up stressing the poor things to the point that they end up dying more from stress than anything.
