Hi Michelle,
As a reminder, the manufacturers of most fish medications recommend making
a partial water change before medicating -- just as I suggested -- often
stating this right in their directions. Still, we need to know the results of
the water tests for all your parameters to guide you in not having these
issues return.
As for Ich medications, many contain dye medications such as Malachite
Green, which will decimate your nitrobacters, effectively eliminating your
nitrogen cycle. There are some medications -- such as Kordon's Ich Attach(which
is advertised not to interfere with your cycle) -- which won't kill off your
nitrobacters, which you should consider. Unless absolutely needed, dye
medications should be avoided if only because they'll stain the silicone
sealant of your tank, and there are other options for treating fish.
