I have a number of cleaner shrimp and the fish love to be cleaned. It is a daily evening ritual for most all of the fish.
However...the cleaner shrimp do NOT do a very good job of removing the ich parasites and I would not suggest that this is a cure in any way. In fact, I'm not even sure that it even helps in any way.
I am in a similar situation. My achilles tang has shown signs of ich for nearly years now, but it is getting worse of late and I'm concerned.
