Most of the people on this thread who think that fish can fight off ich have one thing in common: they seem to be experienced hobbyists and agree that good husbandry is vital in their success. I'm not going into a long spiel about my belief that ich is often mis-identified or try to explain the experiences of others. However, IMO, to give novice hobbyists (with little or no fishkeeping skills) the idea that ich isn't deadly and QT isn't vital is doing a great disservice to the beginning hobbyist. . Again, IMO.
