    Salt and warmer water work best of Ich IMO. Stay away from Copper treatments!

    2 options with this:
    Salt and Heat -Temp @ 85-87 but be careful with the guppies not to do this too fast

    Malachite Green/Formalin (Quick Cure) - Works great but watch dosage

    Before my allergies I would do salt and the slow heat bump.

    Increase by about 1 degree every 45minutes to 1 hour if memory serves.

    Just "watch" them for stressing out...if they do (ie. gasping, rapid breathing, listlessness)..then you can turn it back a notch and proceed a bit slower.
