i have a 10g tank, 3 dwarf rainbow, 4 neon tetras.

i noticed on wednesday morning white specks on the fish, treated them with ick wednesday night with API's liquid super ick cure. administered the second dose last night. when i got home tonight all the 4 neon tetra were dead. and this is especially odd - when i went to scoop them up with my net, one of them just fell apart into 3 pieces. one of them is missing too. i'm thinking it's definitely the super ick cure that killed them.

the three rainbows are still covered in white spots, it looks worse than before i treated them. they're very active still and are eating regularly. what's going on here? is this medication not good enough or something??

i'm going to do a water change right now ...
