Your fish have just sloughed them off and built up a little more immunity and are les stressed by the better water quality.. All I'm saying or was trying to say is don't rush out and buy a U/V.. It has little if any effect on the actual parasite .. It does relive stress on the animals by improving their environment . But a skimmer can remove as many of the parasite as a U/V can. But don't let that bulb get much past 6 months or the effect of the U/V will be nothing at all. What is the ORP of your system now. Thats all that was effected . But you still have plenty of the parasites in the trophont phase right now just waiting for a stressed host.. May you remain ich free for ever (:
