Ick question

[Sexytang]

I’ve had lots of problems with ick in the past with my tank. Just got done with a fishless ick cycle in the tank Sunday I added two maroon clowns which I’m going to get rid of one due to it being bullied. I was wondering how fast ick would show up if the fish had it

Depends on the ich parasite position in its lifecycle. But there have been cases where the ich parasite have remained encysted much longer, up to 72 days. That's why we recommend 76 days for a tank to be "fallow" (without fish) to starve the parasites from a host fish.
