QT question

[bostonpro]

If I put all new fish in the QT for 2-3 weeks and there are no signs of ich on the fish, can I be pretty sure that it will not get ich? Or is it possible that the fish could have ich, but it is just in one of the other stages of it's life cycle that I cannot visibly see and it will develop once put in the main tank?

If you put fish in a QT for 3 full wks, look at them daily thru a magnifying glass, and are sure they don't have ich, then you can safely say that the fish will not have ich, ever, as long as you don't introduce ich at a later date.
