Fallow period question

[microlady]

Once fish have been returned to a fallow tank, how long would it take for marine ich to surface (if it had not been eliminated in the tank)? Would it take a few days or weeks? Thanks!

Define "surface"

 

[microlady]

Flashing, scratching, or white spots.

Flashing, scratching, or white spots.

"Flashing, scratching" normally within 30 days. "white spots" wpuld be unpredictable

Ok. Could white spots show up within three days? Or would that mean the fish brought it in? I'm looking for the quickest scenario. Thanks, Steve.

The fish probably brought it.

Ok I thought so. The culprit was a tang too.
