ICH will remain in the tank and will always come back. You will have to put the fish in QT and treat them there. The main tank needs to run 4-6 weeks without fish and the ICH will die off and be gone. DO NOT treat the main tank. Insta cures like kick ich etc. DO NOT work. Then, from now on make sure you put all new fish in QT for 3-4 weeks.
