Ich

[thewood45]

My Whole tank had ich a last week. one fish died I think ive saved the rest of my fish with meds. Its been two days now with no visable ich on the fish. Do they still have ich? HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL I PUT NEW FISH IN THE TANK?

Please take time to read the post on ich in the FAQ Thread. If you do, you will understand why you are not seeing ich "at the moment".
Ask me in a month if you can add fish.

Beth,
Is there a reason I have to wait a whole month to add fish? what will happen if I add now?

1 month with out ich means that the ich parasite is no longer there. It can live without a host for up to 30 days. Adding a fish can cause a new outbreak it your tank is not clear.
