[edit] Dormant concept of ich infection?
I put a dubious assertion tag in the "Predisposing Factors" section because this refers to the questionable idea that ich lurks in every aquarium waiting to be unleashed. This article disputes that claim:

- While I am sure that ich is capable of laying dormant, I would be very surprised if the above Wikipedian was incorrect. --Savant13 (talk) 19:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- ich does not have a dormant stage, only way to get ich is to somehow introduce it into an aquarium: new fish (most common), plants (there could be one in the dividing phrase attached to a leaf) or water from another tank with ich. also it could be possible for it to reappear if you didnt treat it properly the first time, one of them survives and finds a fish and the whole story starts over again —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.143.229 (talk) 18:50, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
