That's not a bad thing,That's a good thing. Keep a close eye on the situation. If you go 4-5 weeks without side, hopefully the problem is solved.

Don't be fooled. A fish with Marine Ich (Cryptocaryon irritans) symptoms means the tank is infected. A tank infected means the fish are infected even if you can't see it.
