Help rid your freshwater finned friends of ich quickly and effectively with API Super Ick Cure Fish Medication. Ick, 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 and darting and scratching against surfaces, while more advanced stages can cause labored breathing. API Super Ick Cure is designed to kill the parasite, usually within 24 hours, and adds a natural skin slime to protect tissue destroyed by the disease.

API SUPER ICK CURE medication and many other API medications will discolor aquarium water. It is important to remove any ornaments or fake plants that you may not want to stain prior to dosing. Do remember that the discoloration is part of the medication, so do not try to remove colors until the end of the treatment. The discoloration will naturally fade with time and light exposure, but can be eliminated more quickly by performing frequent partial water changes and adding API ACTIVATED CARBON or API BIO-CHEM ZORB to the filter media.

This helped clear out the ick so much faster than anything else I tried to use! I originally used a fin and body cure that I was recommended but it only made everything worse and made my fish die faster and in the end 95% of my fish died. This stopped my fish from dying almost immediately and I seen results very fast. Thank you so much for such a great product! Hopefully it doesn’t happen again but if it does (especially in my quarantine tank) I will for sure be buying this again!
Had to find something for a bad infestation of Ick in our 47 gallon high tank. If I had known then what I know now, I would keep this stuff in stock. I'd had tanks for years but 55s and 40 of normal height. I'm short and even with a ladder have a hard time with this 36" deep tank. Only have gold fish but many problems with Ick and this stuff works great. Bought half a dozen bottles for two weeks of medicating the tank and finally, relief! The fish are doing well and everything looks good. Totally happy with this product.
Cleared up the problem in one day. Very great product.
It did remove the spots, but not all the scratching. I've had to do 6 treatments, water changes, removal of the charcoal, and raising of the temperature. I think the parasites are now gone, but it sure took longer than I anticipated.
My babies where illing followed the instructions and now they are feeling much better. Lost one but saved three others, should have started the treatment sooner.
Super Ick Cure cured my sick fish. However, it does stain your tank decoration. So, take them out when treating your tank or they will turn a blue/green color.
This is a great brand. The bottle is large enough for full treatment and measuring cap makes it easier to use.
This did what it says it is supposed to do. Easy to use and works
Please research before buying. This doesn’t work. Am on a second dose now and waiting for a new product.
Good product to help with ick in my tank. As always, Chewy is the best
