    I had an ick outbreak about two weeks ago, (from worst to best: blue tang, sailfin tang, yellow tang, and my coral beauty came down with it) I began to feed them twice a day treated with selcon and doubled their water changes to keep up. the tangs and angel are looking 95% better barely a trace of ick on them but out of no where my very small orange goby came down with it! I am very worried about his small size and how bad this will impact him. he is still eating fine I'm just concerned should I catch him and quarantine him since he is relatively easy to catch, or should I let him ride it out as I did with the others who came down with it. thanks for the help.

    I think I read somewhere that clown gobies are quite prone to ich. I would just let him ride it out like the others...since the ich is still in the tank if you QT him and put him back in he will probably just get the ich again. Hoping for the best!

    Just keep doing exactly as your doing. Ich is like the fish equivalent of the common cold. They all should be fine as long as the rest of your tank is up to par.
