Hello, I have recently had an ich episode in my tank and lost a couple of my fish, I am now looking into getting a couple of new fish, which i will be placing in a Quarantine tank, my question is will my existing fish in my display tank break out with ich again after the new fish have been introduced into the display tank after spending 3-4 weeks in quarantine?

I've had ich breakouts in my tank twice and then set up a quarantine. I left the display tank fish less for 6 weeks and all as been good. Now I copper every new fish I get even if there is no visual ich. If you do not leave you display tank fishless for 6 weeks it's pointless treating new fish because once they go into ur display they will get ich. So remove your current fish in to quarantine and treat with copper leave the display tank fishless and quarantine every new fish. Hope that helps
76 days minimum.....run the tank temp as normal....read this thread as it will help

As said before, 76 days. Other will say I have done it 6weeks and it's ok. I'll say I tried 6 weeks and 4 weeks later I'm letting my tanks go fallow for 80'days. We have 6 qt tanks so room is not a issue. What is the issue is letting the tank go fishless for less them the 70 or so days.
