I have two tanks, a community set up, and a Mbuna set up. In my community tank, I've noticed what I believe to be the early onset of ick on one of my clown loaches. The water levels have not changed, and the fish have not appeared to be the least bit stressed in anyway. The only new thing I've done recently to the tank is add a few new live plants. I just recently read in one of my fish magazines that plants can carry the ich parasite.
That being said, I added several plants to my Mbuna tank from the same store as the ones that I added to the community tank and it's got me worried. Are Mbunas prone to ick like other fish? I've never read about anyone having an ick problem with there Mbunas yet. Do they have some sort of resistance to the disease? I'm going to keep close watch on them as usual, but I just was curious about how susceptible they were to getting ick.
Thanks.
