Always put a tracking device on your ichthy. I once had an ichthy called mini on mobile, mini was a good tame, she never failed when I needed her, she was the first way I got to herbivore island, she could take me to all the best hunting beaches, but then one day I thought 'hey mini's such a good tame let's see if I can go around the whole island on her' so I tried I was doing well, I'd already got from my home in the footpaw to the sandspit near the red obelisk, but then mini started to get hungry, I went and looked for food for her and found a moschops, but it didn't give me much meat so I decided to go after a gallimimus it escaped, but when I got back to where I left mini she was gone, no death message no gap in my tame list just gone, for months I searched that sandspit for mini, but to no avail, one day a year after I'd lost her I was running low on tame slots, I knew I had to unclaim her, even now when I visit that sandspit I think I see her but I never do. RIP Mini 🐬💗

It would be awesome if these guys could jump.

If you’re on mobile and single player, don’t make a saddle! You get a free one after completing the tame icthy pursuit

So far I am trying to tame my own Ichthy. A tip for anyone who is trying to tame one. If your on mobile dont make a saddle and make sure to upgrade your Oxygen first.

A bunch of these guys once protected me from a Megalodon and a Manta by swarming all around me to prevent my death...

The swimming pancakes named manta and the fanged fish named megalodon and piranha don't like people trying to tame this guy. Just wanted to warn ya.

I tamed one of these named Diana. She was super fast but kind of stupid: always getting stuck on something. Diana and I formed somewhat of a relationship as time went on. Our bond strengthened she was able to beach a shark for me to kill it. Diana soon became one of my best friends... but nothing lasts forever. As I was leading her back to base via SS Dodo, I noticed a large figure swimming rapidly towards us. Diana made the fatal mistake of not paying attention to her surroundings. I helplessly fire arrow after arrow at it, but it was so filled with rage that they had no affect. I had to watch as MY Diana was ripped to shreds by an oversized fish. That is why my base is now called Fort Diana in honor of the brave soul. Thank you for your time.

It is now attacked by underwater creatures beware!!! It lost the non-aggro ability it had before

WARNING
Other creatures will attack it on any platform other then mobile

Can confirm that Ichties have lost their no-aggro ability. Most frustrating thing ever to see them get killed by everything now

Tame it at herbivore island, there is a circle in the middle of the island where there are alot of them and they are trapped so it is easy to tame

These guys are good for underwater adventures. They like invisible to underwater dinos even tuso mosa. The letdown about them is they're so fast to get hungry when sprinting. Make sure you got plenty stack of meat in its inventory.

MOBILE PLAYERS: I have tested it, and NOTHING, I mean NOTHING attacks you. This includes jellyfish, anglers, mosas, megs, EVERYTHING. HOWEVER. This only applies if you DO NOT attack the thing in question (or ammonites), and in my experience this makes it perfect for scouting out high-level potential tames

Nothing will attack you or your icthy unless you dismount

Press the up arrow if you can’t be attacked while riding on and icthy

Best for killing scorpions on bottom of ocean floor since they don't take torpor. Scorpions down there will knock any other animals out. Once you kill it, hit it with a pickaxe to gather black pearls. Very useful for the next update with tek gear.

Once I tamed one of these and named it itchy. Itchy got his name from when I don’t mount him he always twitches around like his whole body got infested by fleas. Once I played with my friend and we were traveling to dodo island when a random sarco came out of nowhere and started biting my friend. I ordered my trike (Tina) to get rid of that thing. But Tina fell into the water and attracted megalodons. We didn’t have any cargo on that raft so we abandoned it immediately and I jumped onto Itchy and he was insane fast and swam away before the megolodons could react. Sadly for my friend and Tina that they died and my friend lost all his gear because he did not have one of these. Itchy was a real life saver for me. A good starter mount for starters.

Remember that you can request them and you will only loose the items

When taming it, don't let it go far while starving. It'll cost you more raw fish meat

Tamed because everyone said nothing Aggros it, placed it in water, went to go drop my items in storage before setting off..."Ichtyosaurus was killed by Megalodon" Ocean just ain't for me maaannnn
