When taming it, don't let it go far while starving. It'll cost you more raw fish meat
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.
Easy tame.
Can be found anywhere in the ocean. They are passive tame and when they come up to u feed them any meat. Watch out for hostiles (megs manta jellyfish etc) and now u have one of the best water tames
Get 4 prime fish from a meg or other fish and then you have a easy tame
Press the up arrow if you can’t be attacked while riding on and icthy
In mobile if you feed one in calls all its teammates.I fed one and within seconds there were almost 10 of them making it hard to find the thing I fed.
These friendly aquatic dinosaurs are very helpful in ocean travel or gathering oil. They can outrun megalodon's and other things, they usually just swim up to you trying to play with you. They don't attack either provoked or unprovoked (I think). They have an ability which they don't aggro anything (I think it's only on mobile), I literally swim with megalodons and they don't give a crap about me or my dolphin, I even touched a jellyfish (cnidaria's) and they didn't sting me. I'm serious!
Icthys are drawn to tames, so when I tamed one 4 more showed up. Now I have an icthy army and none can stand against me, although they do about 10 damage.
How to tame and abilities
How to tame:
1 obtain kibble or fish meat
2 put that in your hot bar
3 go for a swim
4 feed it and wait until its hungry again
5 repeat
6 There u go
Abilities:
It's a fast water mount and on ark mobile it's invisible It's really useful for helping you tame better water creatures
What I did was I built a circle out of stone dino Gates and I got it to follow me in and then boom. You can stay in the circle and tame it and it wont be able to run. Hope this helps.
A good way to tame an Icthy is to tame a parasaur because they have the radar ability then swim with the parasaur and keep using the radar so you can detect any piranhas or megalodons then feed the icthy you want to tame with prime meat or normal meat
Ichys are the best water tame I was with a itchy callled Henry who is a lev40 I was with him then I saw a spoon so I thought let’s kill it and I did it took like 20 mins and then I thought let’s kill meg so I killed like 50 these are the best water take animals so get them
Great for fast water travel but attack is terrible and don't count on them to have your back they cut and run and if you survive the attack have fun finding them again.
