I know you should always QT, however..

Are you seriously siting work that old? Are you going to tell me the earth is flat too? Or maybe dinosaurs didn't exist? If you google something enough you'll always find what you're looking for, and that's the problem. A lot of just wrong outdated information is out there.

The findings are still valid and have been confirmed by newer studies.

They will develop temporary immunity for a few months but still be the carrier of the parasite. If you think of ich more like fleas you'll get a better understanding of what is happening. Some animals are allergic and scratch from bites, some aren't bothered at all but still carry them. Are the ones not scratching immune? No they just don't show signs. Can they carry it and transfer them to other people? Absolutely. Parasites are not sicknesses you develop antibodies to. Ich is not a disease and people need to stop thinking about it this way.

Where do you get that wisdom from? I doubt that there are any scientific studies that support that.

If you would take the time to read some of the studies on acquired immunity you would find that fish in fact develop chemical responses/antibodies against parasites, even such parasites as flukes.

A lot of the correct information can be found in the stickies on these forums. Please do not pass around old outdated information as fact. Ich will not just go away on its own. Fish will also develop a temporary tolerance but can and will still carry/pass the parasite to others.
