Would Marine Max work? It has vitamin c, and we have some on hand.

There has to be a point.

He got ich 2 days after we quit the initial quinine, which we used for 3 days. Water quality is near perfect across the board. We restarted the quinine, vitamins, and lights out (light breaks down quinine). Though Meridian (the name we gave him) has a moderate case of ich, the 3 Damsels we used for cycling show no signs of ich (we haven't been able to catch them to take them out of the tank yet).

The FishFan account is Anne's. She created it, though it was formerly shared.
Though we now have separate accounts, we still share the fish.:)
