Hello
After introducing some new fish, I am pretty sure my fish are infected with ICH. 
I want to treat the tree fish (2xA.ocellaris, 1xGramma loreto), in a hospital tank.
I really can not find some information’s about witch Copper medicine I could use, so if anyone have any experience with a product, I would really appreciate to hear...
The only product I could find is this one, but I am not sure if it will work:

| Jesper, Welcome to MarineDepot.com and this forum. Sorry to hear about your fish. I am not familar with the product you linked. I am leary of products that claim to cure multiple pathogens - parasites, bacteria, fungus and still are safe for corals, inverts, etc. I would highly recommend quarantining anything wet (fish, corals, rock, inverts, algaes, etc) before placing in your display tank. A great reference article by Steve Pro:
http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-10/sp/feature/index.php In order to rid your display tank of the ich parasite, you must take all of the fish out of the system and leave fallow (fishless) for at least 4 weeks. Rock, corals, inverts may stay in the tank. The ich parasite requires a fish to complete its life cycle. See this stickied thread in this forum:
http://www.marinedepot.com/FORUMS/Topic31173-10-1.aspx I only use and recommend Cupramine.
http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=SC4713 When treating with copper, you must have a copper test kit to monitor the levels - too high and it can be toxic, too low & can have reoccurence.
http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=SC4137 Best of luck with your fish. Please update.
