I'm pretty sure they have ick, from the research I've done that's what it seems to be. They are all getting white spots on them. About 5 days ago I started trying to treat them, but I think they're only only getting worse. I put aquarium salt in the water and have been treating them with QuICK Cure, with the active ingredients being Formalin and Malachite Green. I first started the treatment about 5 days ago. When I started the two Oscars first started getting the spots, and now in the past two days or so they've gotten alot worse. Should I try cleaning out the tank, putting new rocks and salt in and continuing the treatment? Can anyone tell me why it appears like it's getting worse?
 
The very first thing to do with an ick outbreak is a water change,not medication. You medicate after each water change and these should be done every day for about a week. maracyn and marcyn2 are the best meds to use for ick.
