Sorry to here about your clown. :'( As for your question "why a fish, properly acclimated, would get ich" Well just acclimating a fish will not do anything to prevent ich if the fish is already infected. Quarantining your fish and observing and treating them while in quarantine is the best way to prevent introducing an infected fish into your display tank. I do have a mated pair of wild caught true perculas and so far they are doing fine I have had them for about 3 months.
All the best of luck to you ................ John |

Yep, correctly called Theronts :-)
Although I am pretty sure it was not Ich larvae that was seen as theronts are only 50-60 microns in size

I know freshwater ich very well, but hardly know anything about marine ich. So I was a little startled to hear about ich larva big enough....
I hope I'll never have to get into that subject in my tanks. | |
