2 QT fish - Wrasse in DT caused Ich outbreak

[Saisori]

So, I was able remove majority of my livestock except 2 fish. What are the chances they survive the ich outbreak? Should I risk my corals in moving the fish out. Will ich die even though 2 host fish are in there? Its been about 3 weeks. I expected them to croak at this point but they are swimming around with no signs.

Even if the 2 fish aren't showing symptoms, they are still hosting the parasites and allowing them to cycle.

They probably have built up a resistance. What kind of fish are they?

Wrasse are great at carrying ich/velvet with no outward symptoms.

Not surprised that they aren't showing symptoms. You have to catch them and go fallow for 76 days to be sure that ich is erradicated.

I know it is a huge pain. But all the work you are doing to treat the other fish is pointless otherwise.

Agree on both fronts.
