I am fully aware of what and how the ich parasite works.
I am sure you know much more about this subject than I do and the only reason why I posted was I felt I should elaborate a little more on that point. Hope you didn't take that the wrong way

I would agree that ich, as with any pathogen, will attack a weaker victim first
The parasite will not discriminate and will look for a host wether or not he's healthy and I agree with COS "it begins showing on the stressed fish first in almost All cases".

If you introduce this parasite to your tank unless you quarantine and treat your fish and leave your tank fallow for a minimum of 4 weeks then you'll always have an Ick problem although not always evident. JMHO
