Hi Amber L. (love_animals07),
There are other ways that Ich can be introduced to a tank which you haven't
considered. I believe someone mentioned via plants (don't remember know
who wrote it), but Ich can easily be carried to another tank in the water that
a new fish is bagged in -- even if the entire tank of fish where this new
one was bought appear healthy. This would especially happen in a stores
display using a recirculating filtration system, where the same water frtom all
the tanks (healthy or not) is circulated throughout all these display tanks
after mixing in a central sump. Not all water goes though a UV sterilizer
in these systems either, but get pumped back to all tanks after being
mechanically and biologically filtered only.
It's always recommended that the store's water should be discarded after
the fish is acclimated, but not everyone heads this recomendation. Then too,
there's always a small amount of water clinging to the fish during netting,
and that's all it takes.
