I've used Nox Ick with Malachite Green .Wrks awsome.
1 drop per gal of water in fresh..Raise the temp and leave the lights off for 2 or 3 days.Worked everytime for me.Getting hard to find though.

Salt helps the fish heal, Increased water temperature speeds up the Ich's life cycle (10-14 days) but daily gravel vac's get rid of the Ich off-spring…They multiply in the substrate.

well it's really hard to say what actually worked...but it was a combo...we upped the temp...added salt(marine salt not salt for FW) as well as medicating and 25% water changes daily for about 40 days...it was a long ordeal but everyone made it except my snail

and they have been happy and healthy for over a month
