Hello,

I've had a little experience with "Cold Killies".  Use acriflavin, mthelyne 
blue or salt to inhibit ich and velvet.  Velvet is your real problem I've 
never experienced an ich infection amongst my killies.  Go a little heavy 
on the acriflavin as your fish will develop this infection as they warm up 
and become more active.  You must remember that the parasites are cold and 
not multiplying and moving around very much because they are cold 
too.  When the parasites warm up there metabolism tells them to do one 
thing, reproduce.  The fish because they are temperature stressed are they 
ideal non resistant host.

Addiding acriflavin, methylene blue and/or salt will prevent the parasites 
from reproducing and allow your fish some recovery time.

Good Luck,   please post follow ups to your observations.
