prazi might be more important one some fish but if a fish is dying of ich, prazi won't do any good.

I suppose you have to wait forever...? With fish like Hippos I really don't think you're ever totally safe unless it's a FOWLR and you hypo the whole tank, and never add another thing to the tank.

I have never had a saltwater fish die from Ich, but I have had several die from worms. I dissect all dead fish. Sometimes I can tell what happened, sometimes I can't. A kid's microscope comes in handy.

EDIT: I don't think you actually said what kind of fish you were quarantining...?
