Stress weakens a fishes immunity making it easier for a fish to become ill...However, if there is no ick in your tank, your fish will not get the parasite...Pretty simple really..

May I suggest Noga's Fish Disease Book, great reading..You'd be surprised how many parasites and illnesses appear as 'white dots'
