Hello. thanks for all the wonderful info on this form. Advice please. I have a 180 gallon aquarium with a sting ray, clown fish, flame angel, blue spotted gobby. 6 months later ich. ( I suspect I had ich day one with the flame angel, but didn't believe even a minor outbreak should be treated because of my routine maint and great filtration system i have, but I was wrong and like the smart people say it will become full blown ich at sometime and there fore should be treated, I learned, to all of you who said that, u are right it did become full blown ich...I should have listened to the post. My question is I have set up a quarantine tank, my plan is to pull all of the fish in the quarantine tank except the stingray and cleaner crew, outlined by Beth recommendations on how to set up the quarantine tank. However, when I introduce the fish back into the main tank, is it a correct assumption that the sting ray and cleaner crews(crabs, snails) will not be a continued host for ich and therefor because all of my fish are out except the sting ray, that the ich in the main tank should be dead in the 4-6 week period because the sting ray will not be a host to the ich in the main tank?
