Fungal Infection• Whitish cottony tufts or patches appear on the mouth, skin and fins of tropical fish, goldfish and koi. • We recommend API PIMAFIX. |
Fin And Tail Rot• Fins appear ragged and split. Disease can progress until fins and tail are completely eroded. • Secondary fungal infections commonly occur. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE. |
Dropsy and Malawi Bloat• Fish develop a bloated appearance due to accumulation of fluid in the body cavity. • Scales may appear to stick out from the sides of fish. • In advanced cases, fish lose the ability to swim and may float upside down. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively FIN & BODY CURE. |
Bacterial Hemorrhagic Septicemia• Fish show blood streaks in the fins and body. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE. |

Eye Cloud, Body Slime• Eyes develop a whitish haze and/or protrude from the head. • Hazy or slimy patches appear on the bodies of fish. • If infested with parasites, fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium and exhibit rapid breathing. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX or FIN & BODY CURE. |
Open Red Sores• Fish exhibit open red sores on the body. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE. |
Mouth Fungus - Saddleback Disease• Raised, gray patches are observed on the fins and mouth areas of fish. • Live bearers, such as guppies and mollies, develop grayish patches on their backs, giving rise to the name “saddle back disease.” • Infected areas may develop into red ulcers and infect the gills, causing rapid loss of fish. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) or PIMAFIX, or alternatively E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE. |
Bacterial Gill Disease• Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form on the body. • Rapid breathing in fish may be accompanied by gasping at the surface of the water, or the fish sitting on the bottom of the aquarium. • Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death. • We recommend API MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish), or alternatively PIMAFIX, E.M ERYTHROMYCIN or FIN & BODY CURE. |

Flukes/Parasitic Worms• Most parasitic worms are not visible without the aid of a microscope. Fish will scratch against objects and appear listless. A grayish film may form one the body. • Rapid breathing in fish may be accompanied by gasping at the surface of the water, or the fish sitting on the bottom of the aquarium. • Gills undergo severe damage, leading to suffocation and death. • We recommend API GENERAL CURE. For secondary or fungal infection, use MELAFIX (or BETTAFIX if you have a betta fish) and PIMAFIX together. |
Hole-In-The-Head Disease (Hexamita)• The most obvious symptom is the pitting and erosion of skin and muscle tissue around the face of the fish. This erosion appears to be a symptom of the parasite's presence in the intestinal tract, not on the surface of the fish. • Many fish exhibit poor appetite, weight loss and nervousness; without proper treatment, death ultimately results. • We recommend API GENERAL CURE |
Ich (Ichthyophthirius)• Early symptoms of this infection in fish include darting in the aquarium and scratching against the gravel and ornaments. • Fish exhibit labored breathing and may remain at the water's surface, near filters and aeration devices. • White spots may or may not be visible on the fish. • We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT |
Subclinical Parasitic Infestation• Fish may scratch on objects in the aquarium. • Slimy skin may develop on fish and fins may be clamped. • Labored breathing may be observed. • We recommend API SUPER ICK CURE along with API AQUARIUM SALT. |

Product Description
Rid your fish of ich quickly and effectively with API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medicatio. API LIQUID SUPER ICK CURE Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Medicatio works quickly to heal freshwater fish of icthyophthirius ("Ich") or Cryptocaryon, highly contagious parasitic diseases. Ich, also called white spot disease, is a highly contagious and destructive, microscopic parasite that burrows into gill and skin tissue, causing severe damage and secondary infections. Early symptoms include white spots, darting and scratching against surfaces while more advanced stages can cause labored breathing. This freshwater fish treatment not only helps cure Ich, but it also provides a synthetic slime coat that helps protect against secondary infection, where the natural slime coating of the fish has been disturbed by the parasite. Use at the first sign of "Ich" or white spots. Some scaleless fish are sensitive to this medication, so treat them with 1/2 the normal dose. Some saltwater invertebrates, such as corals, may be sensitive to this product, so it is not recommended for reef aquariums. This medication will cause a slight discoloration of water which can be easily removed by adding activated carbon to the filter. Dose according to directions on product packaging and label. This treatment can be used in freshwater or saltwater aquariums. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more.

I'm writing this review at around 2:45 a.m. on Monday June 4th. Last Thursday at 2 a.m. I noticed that one of my two electric yellow cichlids in my upstairs 65 gallon tank was laying on his side. I proceeded to move him to a quarantine tank. Nothing else seem to be wrong with any other fish in the tank at that time. At 9 a.m. on Thursday morning the yellow cichlid I had moved to the quarantine tank was dead. Thursday evening I noted that the larger of the two yellow cichlids was covered in fuzzy white patches still no other fish appeared to be sick and I still had no idea what was going on. I moved him to a quarantine tank he died the next morning (Friday). I noticed at that time that several of my Guppies in the same tank started to show tattered fins and I knew I had a larger problem on my hands. In this same tank I have two sterbai Cory cats, two Emerald Cory cats, some cherry Barb's, some gourami, a couple silver dollar fish, and a few tetra.
I spent most of Friday morning and part of the afternoon researching and scouring the internet to try and determine what was going on with my fish and what I could do to stop it. I came to the conclusion that I had an outbreak of Ich on my hands and I immediately ordered this API product to be delivered the next day (Saturday).
However I felt desperate to do something in the meantime so that I wouldn't lose any more fish so I continued to research and found that using high temperatures and or salt addition to the water could be useful. So I increased the temperature of this tank from 76 to 86 degrees (gradually) I also prepared a mixture of two teaspoons of salt for every gallon of water in the tank. I didn't have aquarium salt but I did have pure pink Himalayan salt which I ground up very finely and dissolved in warm water before gradually adding the solution to the tank. And then I turn the lights off to reduce stress.
I know that about 90% of the forms online indicate that you should never add salt to a tank with Cory cats. However there are some out there that have had success with using salt in tanks with certain types of Cory cats I will say that mine seem to be doing very well with the salt addition, along with everybody else in the tank. The treatment seems to be a success as everybody else in the tank is doing very well and the Guppies that were exhibiting signs of ich have since started to heal.
NOW... the feedback that you really care about which is about this product.
Friday evening I noticed that one of my fancy goldfish in my downstairs 38gal tank appeared to have a slight whitish film on his fins and I noted that my yellow cichlid in that same tank had one small white puffball on his fins and it was pretty clear that somehow, I still don't know how, the ich spread to my downstairs tank. But at this point there was only a very small piece on one cichlid and only a little bit on one goldfish.
In this tank I have five fancy goldfish, one sterbai catfish, one yellow cichlid, and one Keyhole cichlid.
Obviously goldfish being more cold water fish I knew that I couldn't use the extremely high temperature approach I did with my upstairs tank which left me in a very tough position. They're tank I usually keep at 75 degrees. I knew that my order of this API product would be here the next day (Saturday) but I still felt desperate. I raised the water temperature to 82 gradually and went to bed. The next morning all of my goldfish were covered in white film and all of their eyes were covered in a white cloudy film. By11:30am Saturday one of my goldfish had died. My Amazon order arrived at around that same day at around 2:45pm.
I immediately administered the recommended dose and removed my active carbon filters and turned the lights off I kept the temperature at 82 degrees. I decided not to put this treatment in the upstairs tank since the salt water and high temps seem to be working. The recommendation was to continue the high temp therapy for 2 weeks then slowly return the tank back to normal temperature.
Ok....I KID YOU NOT... at 8pm on Saturday I checked on the fish in my goldfish tank (5 hours after adding API Super Ich) and all of the goldfish had cleared up!! no white film on bodies.. no cloudy eyes and the puffball had fallen off of the yellow cichlid. 5 hours!! If I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't have believed it!
It's just simply amazing. I am going to continue with the recommended application which suggests another application 48 hours from the original application and then doing a water change and resuming as normal... but I am simply in awe!
I followed dosing instructions/water change on day 6/kept my tank heated at a slightly uncomfortable 89 degrees for 2 weeks. Within a day all physical symptoms were gone and all has been good since. The tank is now back at its usual temp and I would consider treatment successful. No losses, I am thrilled. Plants and snails continued to thrive during and after treatment.
I am now treating a second 30 gallon tank stocked quite a bit heavier than the first. 4 passed from a bacterial infection last week, Kanaplex seemed to stabilize that issue but while fighting that off my tetra have caught ICH as well. Per all I can find, Kanaplex and Super ICH cure do not adversely interact. The members of the tank who survived the bacterial infection all seem alert, stable, and still eating after their first dose of Super ICH Cure this morning.
I will not change my review should I be unfortunate enough to suffer losses. My fish are sick and this medicine helped an entire tank of mine live without individual quarantine/hospitalization. My hopes are high that the tank currently being treated can be just as lucky. I am thankful to have this on hand for all my beloved fishy friends.
