![]() If they didn't make it through the month on hypo and you added them back to the DT then they probably still have ich like you said if there were spots when you added them back the ich is still there so no your dt has ich again/still
The fish on the ground is usually result of ammonia or the ich rather than the hypo, in my experience fish handle hypo well just not the ammonia. So not sure where your at

![]() Also how long was the dt fallow cause they might have made it through the hypo long enough but if the DT wasn't fallow enough then there coulda been ich still in there and re attached (I think 7-8 weeks is standard)
Either way if you seen spots after you added them if say the ich is still there

![]() Ich cleared within 4 days in QT on all the fish, but as soon as fishes started feeling better, bullying started and angel got the worst of it from clown.. Therefore I added them back.. I think they were clear for 2-3 weeks from ich while in QT, but ich survived in DT so reattached on to them as soon as I added them back. But clear again for nearly a week now, so hoping fishes are now strong to fight it.. I was told you can never really get rid of it, long term.. You will always get it as soon as you add more organisms from outside your system.

![]() You can get rid of it and you can stop it getting into your tank through QT. It's just if you want to go through the processes to stop it

![]() Ok, next I'm going all the way next time..
So do you keep your QT empty for a while in between the quarantined fish to make sure ich is died off or treat every fish with copper or hypo? |

![]() I now treat all new fish with tank transfer then prazipro and watch them after to make sure they are looking/eating good.
In between it's all empty and cleaned just waiting for new fish (wooo) If your doing hypo or copper you can just empty the tank after and clean and dry it out and it's ready for the next round
