I was wondering how long a fish can have ich and not show it. When purchasing new fish I want to put them into a hospital tank for observation. I have heard that some fish can live with ich in good water conditions. This makes me wonder if its possible to purchase a fish that looks good for weeks but when you put them in a display tank they infect the rest of the fish.
Is this why some people copper all their new fish?
I am a bit paranoid about ich now. One fish killed about 5 others in a very short period of time. I never want to see it again in my main tank.
