...or is it a once you have it you've got it?
I am about to quarantine a fish that I think might be showing signs of it, has a few white specks on its tail fins. I ask because the fish is healthy and strong, eats like a horse. I would imagine an otherwise healthy fish could fend off such an infection or wouldn't every fish have ich?
I would prefer not using medications, though I will try a fresh water dip (how exactly do you go about this?). If I put him in a hospital tank and pamper him will he naturally get over it, or do I literally have to half poison the little guy?
