So I started testing the theory I would turn on my lights a few hours after they went off and sure enough fish had spots and I would do it again a couple hrs before the lights would be on and there would be spots. But during the day under normal lighting schedule no spots. Its was like that for another 6 months or so until I did a tank reset and started over. Maybe my parasites came from an ivy league school lol but it seamed to make sense. But yeah I guess its a theory I think to be true.
I'm not sure what you mean: are you saying the ich parasite leaves the fish when the lights are on, or that you just don't see spots when the lights are on? BTW: You cannot see the ich parasite with the naked eye and the white spots are not the actual adult parasite.
