Botanical Name: Disease is ichthyophthiriasis
>Ich is one of the most prevalent diseases of fish. It is caused by a microscopic single-celled protozoan that causes white spots in the skin and gills of the fish. Alteration of the protective skin of the fish by ICH allows opportunistic bacteria or fungi invasion and the fish can die from secondary causes.
The best control of ich is prevention. New plants or fish can easily introduce ich to your pond. One of the best preventative measure is to treat your pond for ich before adding new plants, fish or in the spring when ich is most prevalent.
Tricker's recommends this Nox-Ich to prevent or treat ich. Besides the highly effective and proven malachite green for ich, the product also contains sodium chloride. Malachite green is a well known and old remedy that has been used to successfully treat not only ich but ectoparasites (gill flukes) as well as bacteria and fungal infections.
Treatment is recommended for 3 consecutive days.
Aquariums should use 1 drop per gallon for 3 consecutive days.
Ponds or large aquariums, 1 teaspoon per 75 gallons or 1/4 cup treats 900 gallons is recommended.

William Tricker (born 1853) started his commercial water lily culture in the United States in the late 1800's when he started hybridizing water lilies and studied what helps their growth. The shape, colors and hardiness of his beautiful aquatic plants have withstood the test of time.
In the early 1890's, he earned a reputation as a leader in aquatic lifeforms from hybridiing many water lilies. His water lily nursery and company, in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, was passed down tthrough his family until the 1980's when Richard Lee purchased the Ohio company. In 1892, the first William Tricker mail-order catalog was mailed to customers across the nation, and we still do, today.
