Spelt exactly like that.
Once you have a raft, get some meat and head on over to Herbivore Island. (Bottom right corner of the map on The Island) These guys are EVERYWHERE there. If you’re lucky, you can find one in the bay where it’s super safe, but a lot spawn by the island’s coasts as well. Herbivore Island is good in my opinion because you don’t have to worry about the threats on land, and the water is relatively safe as well. These guys are super important, as they basically open the door to underwater exploration and taming.
Build a small trap with dino gate partially above water. Land on water with Pelagornis and once they come to play, lead them with Pelagornis through gate, hop off, close gate. Build the trap close to their spawn or they will lose interest before you get them in.
Tame, cuz passive tame
Swim around, tame megalodon
Thats about its only use
My added tip for MOBILE players: The Icthies can get attacked once by a Meg if you attack it. So be sure to always have a good saddle. I also use this guy to tame a Basilosaurus. Please NOTE that 1: Feed the Basilo WHILE on the Icthy. 2: Always have good saddle. Kill everything that can aggro on the basilo once tamed. 3: Beware of Megs. Tested on Mobile. They bite once on your first few bites and if you survive it they will de-aggro and NOT bite anymore no matter how many times you bite them. But MANTAS will not aggro on you no matter how many times you bite them. Mantas will literally be searching for you swimming in circles.
I have read comments that ichtys are being killed by other creatures. So you can take a bunch of these so they will attack the predator. Because after you tame they will attack if you whistle “attack”. Or you can place dinosaur gate.(these tips are for single player ark mobile). In multiplayer p v e mod you can place them near other players dinosaurs like the other players tamed mosasaur or megalodon,etc or you can use single player tips if you want to protect them yourself.
Tamed a 130 on rag by rocks in middle of map in the north. By far the best place, saw 2 140s and a 105. Took no time to tame, and surrounded it with walls to trap it.
If you have a basilosaurus, ichys will follow it which makes the tame 2000% easier
