ich question

[sarahlovesfish]

I am quarantining my new cleaner shrimp and turbo snail. So far they are in the tank for 4 weeks. Could I add them in the dt in a few days? I know that it takes about 8 weeks for ich to die off. I hear that it is unlikely ,but I also hear that it happens. When I acclimate them I will dip them in a seperate container of tank water, and put them in. will this work, or should i be safe and add them in 6-8 weeks?

Inverts don't get ich, add them.

I know that ich wont affect the inverts, but I am concerned that the water they are in has ich, because I have a couple of fish in my DT
