Keep in mind though that ich is not some mysterious parasite that magically appears in a system when fish are stressed. Ich is present in most systems, but in a dorment state. When a fish becomes stressed, the ich comes out of that state and is able to "latch" onto the fish. The white bumps are the irritated spots where the ich is making itself comfortable.
