so the widely agreed length of time to leave a dt fallow to rid a tank with ich is about 75 days. The life cycle of the parasite requires a host organism. It is also believed that fish that are stressed get infected by the parasite and continue the life cycle and produces white spots.
So here is my question. If you inadvetantly introduce the parasite into a tank of healthy fish and you never have a fish show any signs of infection, would the life cycle get interrupted In the tank and eventually become ich free. Can fish be asymptotic hosts?
