Does anyone really know:
Can Ich survive in an aquarium with no fish, no living animals?
I've have a 40 gal tank that my kids use.
Two months ago they bought some fish, loaches, tetras, etc.
Within 5 days I noticed Ich.
Tried to treat it with Quick Cure.
Didn't work and all fish soon died.
Changed out filter but did not change water.
Let tank run for about 6 weeks.
Kids then went and bought 5-6 Platy's and I noticed about 3-4 days later
that fish had Ich.
I've read a ton about Ich in the last day, I am actually overloaded on the
topic.
Raise your tank water temp to 87-90 degrees. Add salt. Do this, don't do
this.
