Inverts and Ich

[tucker3940]

Can inverts carry ich? If I have a fish and invert tank and I put the fish in a QT tank to do hypo, will the inverts (or lr/ls) carry the ich for the month that the fish are gone and reintroduce it to the fish when they return. thanks

In the absense of fish, the ich that is a tank in "fishless tank" will die off.

Nope, the inverts or LR LS won't carry ich, so all you have to do is remove the fish and wait 4-6 weeks for the ich to die off.
