Steve Are you saying that that fish cannot rid himself of the ich to where it is not an issue to it or the tank. Ich well always be present in the system is what I meant to say unless every fish he buys, he treats to rid of it, which no one does even if they quarantine. It could come in even on rock fresh out of someone elses tank or a number of ways. I have a pwdr blue [which as I'm sure you know is notorius for getting ich] that got itpretty bad when I first got him 4 yrs ago, which is nothing new for them and he was in a QT tank> I knew the tank was good and within a couple months he was VISIABLY rid of the ich on his own. He has been with me now for 4yrs and is doing just fine, and I did not treat him. I do agree that if this Gramma started having ich after 3-4 weeks he has come under stress from something and he should either try to find the reason or get him out and treat in QT, but I would not treat all the fish in the tank if they aren't showing any signs.
