Syno's seem to get the short end in "some" dealers tanks and in this case your friends friends tank,I have picked some up that are in pretty rough shape(I don't really recommend this but with some fish you have to pick them up when you can)usually when given some space, good food and time they can come back quite well on their own,if you are worried about ich the high heat treatment works well,but I would wait for further signs before starting this.
I know what it is like to take on other peoples cast off fish but I wish someone would leave me a whole bucket of syno's :)
