In another section, you'll also read the immunity is not long lasting. This together in the confines of a quarantine and given enough time, 6 weeks minimum, the Marine Ich will overwhelm the fish and become visible to the hobbyist. What this means in short is that the MI can hide only temporarily in the gills until it can gain a foothold again.
I'm unsure about why the 11 months works. I'm not into genetics. I discovered this in the early 1970''s then later, Dr. Burgess confirmed this in some experiments he conducted. He found 11 months, I found 10 months. I'm conservative so I quote what has been published. |
Thank You for clearing that up for me. The wait was just a few hours! "The confines of a Quarantine will concentrate the MI on the host fish". Makes sense . If in fact the fish is overwhelmed one must be ready to act quickly! Other than some snails nothing has been added in over a year. I'd like to think with some certainty this tank is MI free.
