Get all fish including your mandarine into the hospital tank...you will have to leave the main tank empty for 6 to 8 weeks to be rid of the parasite. Sorry to hear of your troubles...

ahhh, i hate ick... I was asking about the mandarin because i heard they have an extram slime coat that prevents them from getting ick
