Can ich be extinct?

[yikai]

hi, i was wondering if given long enough, can ich be naturally eradicated from a tank? my tank used to have slight ich problem, when new fishes are introduced, they will get ich in a few days. however lately, after adding in a yellow tang (ich magnet), and a yellow belly wrasse, i did not even notice a single white spot on both of them. about 1 week already. no signs of scratching too and both very healthy.

im not complaining, but wow can ich really be gone just like this?

Ick has a cycle where they will remain dormant, thereafter coming back stronger each time, when the parasite multiplies.

But of course, your fish may originally be ick free

hmm sometimes when buying fish from bros is also a good thing

cause their fishes have gone thru the ich stage and are so called immune

to it already

No way to get a ick free tank unless you are running copper all the way. Ich can come back anytime if you fish is too stress. When you have this type of sign. Please observe your fish.
