Seems to have worked so, far all fish doing well and no sign of ich in 4 weeks now. I may not be out of the woods yet!
IMHO I believe that if you have alot of difficulty in catching a fish, you can actually do more harm by additional stress and harrasment in trying to remove it.
Hope all pull through!

I posted this in March.
My Blue Tang is 5 times its size now and none of the other fish ever got Ich.
The Blue Tang shows a few spots evey once in a while never seems to do any harm.I also introduced neon cleaner gobies to the tank they, along with the cleaner shrimp do a pretty good job.
Good luck!
