The only thing i can say are ;bare bottom tank,hiding place (PVC fittings)low light,frequent watr changes(of hosp.tank) Im sure some one can add more sugg.If u could post a pick to correctly ID illness that would be good, or R u sure its black ich?

The only way I know of to treat the show tank is to lt it go fallow for 8 weeks to let the parisite die out. Without a host, they will die.
