Is the ick in my fish tank even going away?

Am I doing everything right? Or is my whole tank going to die? :(

The ick must be mold. You are only adding half a dose, which is only half of what the whole tank needs. What I will do is isolate your tetras in their own personal tanks with no doses. Dose the whole tank exactly fourteen drops and then when the fish seem better and the dose wears off, put the tetras back in.

I agree to lower the temperature to 78-79*F. Do a 25-50% water change. Put the tetras in their own tank for now. Since they don't seem to be showing symptoms, they shouldn't be medicated. As for the rest of your fish, maybe you should try getting a different brand medication for them.

O.O fishy carcassBest of Luck!A 50% water change is also best before applying more medication. Reducing the amount of stress on the fish will also be a huge help so make sure you move them out of the tank before changing the water then waiting for the temperature to be the same as it is in their holding dish.But, if you don't get the ich and the infected fish out of the tank until the problem clears up, it'll eventually appear again in the future.you may lose more fish :( but this will help. hook your filter back up to your fish tank! your water still needs to circulate through out your tank, just take the filter cartridge out. also stop the minor water changes, its only stressing your fish even more. ick is caused by stress. too many water changes when not needed can contribute to that stress also, an agressive fish could be picking on non agressive fish and stressing them, but most of the time its caused by tapping or banging on the fish tank. if you notice every time you tap, your fish get jumpy its like a full blown earthquake to them. you should also turn your light off untill things look better. it usually takes about a week to clear up. Ive worked in a pet store for about 3 years and this is how we handle ick outbreaks at the store. hang in there it will clear up!
