Can a Lawnmower Blennt get ich??

[salty sam]

I was just wondering if a blenny can get ich. I noticed by other fish have it except my blenny and my dragonet. Any suggestions?

dragonets gunna die, and blennies can get ich... but they are so ridiculously hardy the ich has to be pretty bad for them to catch it.

What do you mean about dragonet going to die?

 

[renogaw]

dragonets are generally not subject to ich, so other than being a new tank maybe and how difficult it is to get them to eat anything, i can't see why he'd say it will die.

Dragonets cannot get ich, but blennies can on rare occasions.

I suggest you treat your fish. Including the blenny. Do you have a qt tank?

The other posters have more experience, but IMHO blennys can get ICH. I had a bad outbreak about a year ago and it did affect my LMB. Treat him/her. If you have not already visited some of Beth's threads on treating disease/setting up a QT I would do so..lots of good info.
