I would take it out and toss it in the garbage. They just slowly die and insure every fish in your tank has ick and then dies after 6 weeks of a battle. Well maybe close to that. Im going to plug uv light on your system! These fish need every advantage possible to stay healthy. You could hug it everyday to make it not stressed, but i dont think that works as fish are slimy. So, long story long, lots of room and keeping EVERY bad bacteria and parasites out and lots of hugs.......
