Aquarium Advice FINatic
About a month ago, I finished treating my brothers puffer for ich using hypo in my own QT. While I was treating him, I would use the same hoses for water changes on the QT that I use for water change on my DT.
Is it possible that I could have introduced ich into my DT by using the same hoses? The reason I'm asking is I just lost my chocolate tang from an ich infection and I don't know where the ich could have come from. I have QT'd every new addition and hypo'd them for 4 weeks prior to introduction into the DT.
This now means I have to treat ALL my fish for ich, but I wanted to know about the cross contamination before I went out and got all new hoses for my DT water changes and servicing.
