Following on from my previous post regarding what the best treatment is for ICH can anyone let me know should you still contiue to feed as normal when some of your fish have ICH and others don't?

i think you should continue normal feeding but you should remove the fishes w/ ICH and treat it in a hospital tank to avoid outbreak of ICH on your main tank

Once you have visible spots the tank is already infected. You might as well leave them in there and treat the main tank, because the main tank will need treating anyway.

Thanks guys I figure that the fish that are infected are going to need all the strength they can get so by not feeding them I reckon would do more harm than good they may not want to eat but then the other fish will eat the surplus Im sure
Thanks

I wouldn't even do that. They may already be infected but not showing any symptoms yet.

maybe infected fishes shows symptoms, not showing any symptoms means not infected...to avoid being infected, separate them from infected fishes....just my opinion :D
