Normal treatment is raise the temp to 80 degrees, do at least a minimum of 50% water change daily making sure to clean the bottom of the tank to suction out the ick and increase the air supply as heat depletes the oxygen.

Also over feed the fish to build up his health. Over feeding should not be a problem since you are changing the water.

Within 3 days you should have minimal ick and within a week no sign of ick should be present.

I hope this helps and good luck

The purpose of heat is to speed up the life cycle of ick. You can try the water changes with maybe 60-70% daily. The purpose of removing water is removing the parasite itself.

Here is a good web page. Just try your best.
