I have a 10gal freshwater fish tank that has recently been plagued with ick (ich.) I have been treating the tank properly with a medicine called “QuICK Cure.” It is a petco product that, according to customer reviews, works wonders on curing ick (ich.) So far i’ve noticed that, yes, my fish have been losing the white flakes, but it seems that the water now has floating white particles that resemble dandruff.

I’ve never noticed these before and i’m wondering if it is the fallen ick (ich) [though there is way too much to have come from my four platies.]
Any ideas of what it might be?
