That sucks. I've never had quite a loss like that but i've dealt with ick in my fw tank and it was stressfull. I ended upshutting down the tank and restarting with a puffer fish. What are you going to do now?

I found if you dont like using chemicals to treat ick, if your fish can handle higher temp water. You can boost your temp to 80-82 degrees for a couple days the ick will disappear. (Read up on what temp your fish can handle DONT KILL YOUR FISH)

This does work although unless you are willing to research the breed vs temp dont try it.
