hitman,
Just to make it clear: Garlic oil does NOT work!
I know the flames are coming, but it is clear from my experience that Garlic does not do a damn thing for ICH.
The spots are ALWAYS the worst early in the morning and tend to drop of during the day. This is what you observed.
You might try raising the temp to 86 and keeping it there for a couple weeks.
This has worked well for myself in the past, although it seems in my tank to be loosing its efficacy. I wonder if the Ich species in my tank have adapted to the higher temp?
At any rate, if you have never tried this before in this tank, it will probably work this time.
Temp needs to be 86 night and day. Do not let it drop at night!
It would help if the fish were eating as proper nutrition goes a long way to help fish survive this disease.
Try a small cherrystone clam from the food store to see if you can get some food in him.
