    My tangs just recently came up with some ich, no biggie, i know what to do about that.
    My question is, can I transfer ich to an otherwise healthy tank from frags? I have a fair amount that i am selling but I dont feel right if im gonna give someone the funk.

    You could have a free floating ich hitchhiker in the water you transport it in and spread it that way.
