its overall condition is weak. If it starts feeling better, it wil eat

yeah, its like when you feel sick, you dont really want to eat.
 
Ich causes stress on its host. Try smearing foods with garlic extract to encourage the fish to eat although it can survive without food for a week or two until treatment is over for 14 days minimum.
