Repost... I think my PBT has black ick.

Posted this is the wrong forum, so I was told to repost here.

I think my PBT has black ick. I have never heard of that before until I started researching this. Apparently it's a tube work that appears on the fish for about 5 days then drops off to multiply into the sand bed, then comes back stronger.

Suggestions for treatment include a freshwater dip and qt.

Anyone have any experience with this? As of right now, I think he's only had it on him less then 24 hours and he is still eating, though he is now hiding and paler.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.
