One question. If fish is already stressed with ich. And people say to remove the fish and QT in another tank. That is a bold statement to say since its harder to catch all the fishes out of the tank without removing majority of your rocks in which would stress out the fish even more.

I'm only saying this because i have a 400g tank that has the dimensions of 72x32x32. Recently i acquired an angel that was said didn't pick on any corals. Then found out he did eat corals so i had to remove that only fish. The process of fish removal is a big headache and took hours. The best way was to remove majority or the rocks and that lead to movement of sand and debris. By the time i was done and removed the fish, my tank was really cloudy i had to put back in the rocks. After this process i soon realized that some of my tangs acquired ich.

The only thing thats concerning me is that now people said to remove the fish and separate them. They got ich from the stress of removing another tank mate. Wouldn't me attempting to remove them cause them to stress out even more?
