Well my butterfly with ich died, so all thats left in his tank is a snowflake eel and cleanup crew. How long will I have to wait for the ich to die off before I can add a new fish? (because the ich wount take the eel as a host, correct?) I really need to get ich out of this tank as I noticed that my new additions have been all dying from ich and I'm finally going to get rid of it for good this time before getting something new. So how long without a fish with scales? Thanks........
