Spreading Ich

[jrrlbds7]

one of my tanks has ich, but the other one doesn't. can you spread ich through your python? TIA

Not sure but I do not think so unless you let the water get into the other tank. Ich has to have a host once he does not have a host it dies.

You most certainly can. Its recommended that you don't mix equipment if one of your tank is infested with Ich since the parasite is very contagious.

Why risk it?

Yes you can, especially if you do the water changes back to back. If it has been a couple days in between w/c's and the equipment is dry I'm sure it would be fine.

I was always worry about that as well if Ick could go from tank to tank from the python. I tried it and no issue with it.. Also as long as the temp is high 82-86 Ick won't survive.

I'd let the python dry out first so the parasite would die before doing another water change on a different tank

all you have too do is put it under hot water the water in my bathroom is like 110 that will kill anything
