It is recommended that a minimum of 6 weeks of qt be given. With ich, it can take up to 72 days for the tomonts to hatch given the right conditions.

Ich is definitely present in your tank, as stated ich can not just appear from the thin air. Yes, the stress of the move could have caused enough stress for the immunity of the fish to drop, and the slime coat to be reduced, and allowing ich to attack and take hold. Ich can live in the gills of the fish and not show any visual signs.
