i have a six lined wrasse that appears to have three or four ich parasites on it. it eats as far as i can tell and seems healthy enough to elude me no matter how hard i try to catch him for a fresh water dip...so do i leave him be and see if he recovers or keep trying to catch him, or do i med the whole tank?

If you can afford one get a UV steralizer, Drs. Foster and Smith carry a few that hang on with ther own pump, medicating the tank is not the best solution especialy if you have any corals. This is my opion, I run a UV after adding any new fish and then 12hrs a day for 2 weeks everymonth just for prevetitive measurse, and in my system it seems to work.
