Extra Virulent Freshwater Ich?

Hello Crew, Bob Hartline, from The Aquarium here. There seems to be a new strain of freshwater ich starting to become prominent. Have you heard anything? We have tried temp increases, malachite green, Acriflavine, potassium permanganate, salt and any other standard med to no avail. This sucker just laughs. Certainly no laughing matter… Seems to avoid our attempts at poison by reproducing on the fish. I have seen this in Marine fish, but this is the first time in Freshwater. Comments and observations are needed ASAP.
