So it has been months since I have seen ich in my tank but, I left a yellow coris wrasse in there. That fish is immune. The ich got so bad at a point that I thought wait is this velvet. Turns out it was ich as other tanks that got hit with the same strain only lost a small number of more delicate fish (think firefish and gobies) while even tangs survived in other tanks. So I have debated if I should either try adding a small number of damselfish to the tank or make the attempt to remove the wrasse which honestly might be impossible with the sand and rockwork unless I tear up the tank.
So aside from the ich, in this 60 gallon tank would the wrasse be compatible with 3-5 damsels. If so what species should I look at, I was thinking azure damsels, Yellowtail damsels, or similar could make up the first tester fish. After that point I don't know. Is it even worth considering or should I just pull out the wrasse at this point.
