Not completely accurate...Ich is a parasite. While it is found on many (some would say most) of our captive-bred (and some wild-caught) fish, if it is not already on any of the fishes within the aquarium, and not found anywhere else in the aquarium, then the fish cannot be attacked by it without outside introduction.
what to do now.

True but what are the chances of the fish not having Ick like 1 in like 10,000. Ick is such a common disease its odd if you fish dont get it rather then them getting it. The only fish I have seen never get Ick are the ones treated the way there suppost to be well there healthy.
I understand...I was just reiterating an earlier point that not all fish are carriers of ich, but I realize the low numbers in the hobby which are not.
Thanks for the help guys.
36 hours on and the fish dont seem to have suffered any adverse effects,no ich to be seen either thank goodness.
should i still remain as vigilant or has the danger passed.
Ps.I have learned my lesson,.I have put a lock on the aquarium room and miss hannah wont be allowed in there unless someone is with her.

That's a good lesson to have learned, and we are glad for your having learned it!
I would keep a close eye on the fish for a little longer, but not necessarily as close as you were initially--I, too, think that the worst has passed, but I cannot be 100% for certain...so keep watching, but maybe not as much. (You've earned a little break for having learned that lesson!

Yeah I would keep an eye on them for another 24hrs but not necessary they should be ok. I hope everything goes good with your fish. Lates.
