Survivor!

I had some baby fish that were born in the bag on the way home from the LFS. I was upset when they all got ich and died. A day after I thought they were all dead I noticed one ich-coated baby fish swimming around the tank. He's a goner I thought. Every day for 4 days I woke up and fed the shrimp in the tank expecting to see his tiny corpse. Every day when I got up he was swimming merrily around with less ich on him every day. On the 4th day there was no evidence of ich at all. For 4 days after that he has been swimming around the tank seemingly healthy as a horse. How long should I wait to put him into the fry tank with the other fry? I do not want to infect them with ich. Especially after watching the other batch die.

I am very happy that the baby survived!

It is currently in with my cherry shrimp because they cannot get ich and I thought they could efficiently dispose of the bodies. The cherry shrimp have eaten fry before so I would like to get him out of there.

I would wait for at least a full week
