My tank was experiencing temperature fluctuations due to the warmer weather which stressed out my fish a bit and now 2 of the 7 have ich. There have been no new addition to the tank in 2 years.

I've fixed the temperature problem and the fish with the ich are active and eating well. With the help of the cleaner shrimp, the gramma looks better, and the clown seems to be spot free after 2 days. I'm sure this is probably the stage where the ich falls off and multiplies in the substrate.

I've also been vitamin-enhancing the food and making sure the water is perfect with frequent water changes.

It will be a nightmare to remove all the rocks, anemones, and corals. The fish that were not affected- were they not as stressed, and as a result less vulnerable to the ich?

I've read so many different things on this board, that I'm not really sure what to do at this point.

Will the fish that were affected be able to fight off another infection if I can keep them from getting stressed and keep up the vitamin supplementation? Should I remove each and every fish from the tank now and treat them all or wait a period of time to see what if anything happens?

The last thing I want to do is stress out my fish any further, and risk stressing out the fish that were never infected if I transfer all of them to a qt tank.

Has anyone had a minor outbreak of ich and been able to keep their fish from getting it again by keeping the fish healthy and fixing temp or water issues?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
