Duster with Ich?

[efrank]

I saw a tank today at a chain store and all the fish clearly had ich. The tank also contained feather dusters that looked good and only cost $7. Would they be able to carry the ich back to my tank?

Hi:
Ed is right on the money. The feather duster itself is not a host of ich.Its a fish disease. However inverts can carry the offspring for a while.
The likelihood of transmitting ich buy adding this duster to your tank is low, but possible. I would personally pass up on this duster, just to be safe
