Hello,
Is ich actually this complex when it comes to going fallow in display tank? I have had all my fish quarantined in copper for 4 weeks now and I was planning on doing the 6 week 80.6 degree fallow period. But there are so many caveats to the fallow period it seems near impossible to actually complete it successfully. To start how do I even know if there is a dead spot in my tank where the ich will go dormant. I have used my power head to stir the water up once in the past 4 weeks… what about the sand bend how do I possibly guarantee there’s no ich left in there. And now I’m worried that my fingers were still wet from the display tank when I put nori on my tangs clip. Is he gonna be sick now do I need to run him through more copper again he just got out a couple days ago. I feel lost. I already spend my entire evening mixing water and other fish maintenance. I dont know how I could possible even find time to do any extra steps while also having to work. I dont want to give up my tank but I cannot put the fish back in and run the risk of them getting ich and having to start the whole process over again. I already tried mitigation and all that happened with that is I just watch my fish slowly decay infront of my eyes. I can just sit by and watch my fish die. Ich feels like an unescapable trap that my tank and money will be doomed to.
