Good job everyone. Lots of good information and I would agree that ich, as with any pathogen, will attack a weaker victim first. Low lying fruit and the most bang for the buck principle. The primary purpose of the pathogen is to procreate so it will attack a healthy host if that is all that is available.

A low stress environment and Cleaner Shrimp are exxtra "vitamins or insurance" in my experience. Two years, two tangs, and no ich! Knock on wood, eh?
