If there is no fish in the DT then the ich will die out anyway, and the fish in the QT remains infected, as no treatment is done, and, taking water from a tank with an infected fish, and putting it into the DT, means probably addition of the ich to the DT, delaying the cure for the DT.
How is the fish to become ich free, by transfering water from the tank it is in, to the DT that is fishless? |
