Experienced people are having more and more trouble eliminating ich; especially using hypo. I don't know if more resistant strains are evolving; but buying already infected fish, especially by a beginner, would be a terrible way to enter the hobby.....IMO. treating ich isn't always a sure thing; a newcomer intentionally buying the parasite (it comes free with the fish) goes against the grain of everything that newcomer should be trying to learn.
