He might seem ok but he will carry the disease and when you reintroduce the fish they will get recontaminated again.
People say that mandarins are immune to ick due to their thick mucus, yet I read plenty of thread where mandarins are part of the victims of ich. It's the gill that get attacked and those don't have mucus on it. There can be some ich on the gills and the fish does not seem to gasp because it is a low level infection.

I'd be even ok if it just decided to croak on me, but this fish seems to be one tough SOB.
