If you have a fish die from ich... does it infect your tank forever or just that animal? and if it does infect your tank how do you get rid of it?
Yes but most of us have it in our tanks. Fish will not become infected unless conditions are less than optimal or the fish are stressed.Katie281 said:Does it infect your tank forever?
Leave your tank with out fish for 6 wks then QT all new additions for 4 wks before putting them in your tank.Katie281 said:If it does infect your tank how do you get rid of it?

Katie281 said:yes it is the 11 gallon, I had a seahorse in it, and it died from ich.... had ich when i brought it home from the pet store... didnt notice until two days later when it started to look stressed and the tiny white spots started to get bigger...... i talked to the fish store and they said there was nothing I could do.
Katie281 said:second question, when you say qt everything for 4 weeks, do you mean that i need to get a second tank? and if so how do i go about qt'ing them?
So by waiting another week to purchase a fish wouldnt be a big deal since i have in reality had no fish in myt ank for about 6 weeks... buying one and qt'ing them would be ok?
