Ich when in the free swimming 'cyst' stage need to find a host fish within 55 hours or it dies. When it finds a fish (usually through the gills) it lives in the host for about 5 days<sup>*</sup> at {{c|25}} and can be seen as white spots as it ruptures through the skin. It then drops off and sinks to the substrate where each parasite develops into around 1000 more cysts which in turn swim looking for a host fish again. | Ich when in the free swimming 'cyst' stage need to find a host fish within 55 hours or it dies.
