I was reading through all the info on managing and eradicating ich and found myself questioning something; if we completly eradicate ich from our tanks then we don't have to worry about it, until it inadvertently happens (maybe even through aerosol transmission as @Humblefish has posted on a sticky thread). If it does happen, and our fishes don't have their immune systems prepared to fight it, wouldn't that be worse than managing it with a healthy immune system that's ready to fight it by already dealing with the parasite in a controlled population?
I am now preparing myself for the feedback...
