I got rid of the ick a month ago.


Sorry, you will never be rid of the ich in a display tank (unless you have no corals or inverts and stripped it bare, treating with hyposalinity or copper) or you have taken your fish out and treated in a separate tank leaving the display tank fishless for at least 6-8 weeks. It "goes away" and doesn't rear it's ugly head until one of your fish is injured or stressed.


I'm not trying to be discouraging, I just want to to know to still watch out for it. I wish you and the new fish the best of luck, but be careful, 2 tangs in a 90g just might be 2 tangs too many.
