The ich problem started out small just a coupl spots on his tail fin, but now it has spread across his body, i thought i was going to be able to leave him alone and let him fight it himself but should i take him out and get him in my qt?
Stress will always lead to ich. That's why a lot of the time a new fish will always get it. It sucks, but once the new guy starts getting situated its all gravy from there.
I know in salt you cant dose the main tank but I have always found that moving a fish to a separate tank only made them more stressed and they always ended up dying.
In my fresh tanks I can treat the whole tank and I have combated ICH several times on fish this way.
I dread the day I have to deal with it in my salt tank since you cant treat the tank.
I always thought it was best to qt. The next best thing for me is just to feed well and help the fish fight off the ich. Yeah I agree with moving the fish. It just freaks them out even more.
The fish's immune system is the best way to fight off many things.
