If ich killed off all of my fish, but i still have inverts, can it still hang around? I don't see it on anything else, but how do I know when it is gone? I have a 65 gal w/ 125 lbs LR and 60 Lbs LS. Thanks.

Ich has a life cycle, it also lays eggs i the bedding, and hatch, then try to find a host. How long ago did your fish persih? I would wait 6 weeks.

Like it was already mentioned, let your tank run fallow and all the ich will die off in 6 weeks. There's always possibility of new fish getting ich as well, that's when a QT is needed for new arrivals!!! :happyfish
