my tank is a mess rite now! half of my fish have ich, and the others dont! i dont understand how half wont have it and some others wont. when my tank first started off, i had a gold stripe marron clown. well thought he was doing good at first but the my powder blue tang started a whole ich epidemic(was screwed over by my lfs) and he ended up dieing.so i started from scratch. then aout 3 months later i got a hybrid maroon clown, a beauty. he ate and seemed very healthy. then he got ich while none of my other tank mate had it. well, he died. then a few months after that i thought i might not have luck with maroons, so i went to a clarkis. he was fine for a few months, ich free but he was too aggressive with my other fish and kept nipping at them. so i sent him back. then i moved on with differnt fish. i now have a pearlscale, auriga butterfly, flame angel, dartfish ,cardinal, royal gramma, goby with shrimp buddy, bargoby, 2 cleaner shrimp, snials and a few hermits. the pearlscale, auriga butterfly, flame angel, and the royal gramma got ich. they ate fine and i didnt treat them because the ich would come and go. i didnt do anymore clowns until i got a bta. so i did and i got a percula with it. well it got ich the day i put it in the tank. he was fine at the lfs. but then once i acclimated him, drip method for an hour he got ich. well it is a week later and he still has ich. so i am treating those fish now. they dont seem to be better. and i think the clown may be on his way out tonight. all of my fish with the ich eat fine and do not harrass eachother. i could even keep my butterflys with corals(dont ask me how that worked out, i have weird ones). what i dont understand is, is that why does a clown that i buy always get ich and why dont my other fish get ich also! i dont get it. new fish that i have been adding have been getting ich. i do water changes and the water is fine. could somebody help me out with my problem?
