Ich

I'd go for 30, especially if you are going to go through a prolonged fallow period and your fish need to be in a QT for close to 3 months.

Would I need to treat the fish with copper or just wait

Personally, I prefer no parasites. So I treat with Copper.

You can either catch them with a fish trap, or a net. Rock may be a problem, so it makes it easier to temporarily remove rock.

It is amazing how often this topic is posted. I myself have a thread going. There is also a nice article on ich eradication v. ich management on this forum. Look up humblefish. Do what he says. He knows what he is doing. good luck.

Will the ich die in the main display after a while

Yes, they need fish to survive. That's the either 76 or 92-day fallow period. I did 92 in my tank when I had Ich.

I have also been told that the tank transfer method would be good

Yes, I've read a lot about that method but never tried it. But then you need 2 QTs, as I don't think you want to catch fish in DT every 1-2 weeks.

Exactly

I have also heard that wrasse don’t do good in copper is this true

 

[Everything Aquatics]

I’m going to get a uv sterilizer and see if the wrasse can fight it off

This thread has just the momentum we like to see for disease control input. I have this thread linked to our skip cycle/ cycling microbiology thread as it shows good preps for fish disease.

nowadays the wait 30 days approach has taken a back seat to bottle bac cycling, and quicker use of fish. the thread here shows the preps needed before fish, even though its not hard to control ammonia nowadays/bottle bac works well.

The most price-less advice in this hobby, which is ignored probably 75% of the time (I know, I ignored it myself many times), is NOT TO RUSH THINGS.
