ICH still alive????????

[spmnarciso]

I had Ich in my tank three weeks ago, ended up killing two of my fish, and I was able to treat one of them. Well I removed the ones that were infected, and left my YT, and other clown (that showed no signs of the disease) in there. It's been 3 weeks now, like I stated and my YT looks as beautiful now as when I got her, and my clown looks good too. Can I assume that they where just too happy to get infected, and can I assume that if I wait a couple more weeks that the Ich has deceased?
:notsure:

I don't know about that, just because they aren't showing signs doesn't mean they still don't have the parisite.
Best bet is to QT all fish and leave the display fishless for 3-4 weeks.

Consider this the bible of ICH.

I'd hate to stress them out, if they don't have it. Can I assume that if I wait a couple more months and there is no signs of ICh, it's gone?
I would of thought that my YT would be the first to get it?

Sure, you can wait it out.
Tangs are more supseptable of ICH then most other fish.
Go ahead and wait it out, if you start seeing white spots again, remove all fish and Hypo them.
