well, temp can affect the development of ich. If there is a sudden drop in temp, then ich could grow. I’ve had several heaters in the past that have stopped working and my fish got ich because of the drop in temp. But, just follow the directions of the ich meds. Also, raising the temp helps speed up the life cycle of ich and if your fish survive, it will help get rid of it faster. Also, make shure that you clean you tank very well after it goes away. this is because the ich bacteria can still remain on the bottom of the fish tank. If possible you might want to try doing a complete cleaning of the tank, gravel and all. And be shure to net the fish out, don’t put the same infected water back into a clean tank.. you should do this for every fish you get. oh and remember to let the water temp equalize.

If you take really good care and spend a lot of time with the fish, he might not die.
