Yes that does indeed look like black ich. Treatments below that need to be held in a separate QT with the exception of prazipro, that can be administered in your display as long as you don't have feather dusters, bristleworms, etc. Hypo can be done in display with a FOWLR.

Quarantine Treatment Options:

1. Praziquantel – 2 mg/L single dose for 7 days in a QT. Both Prazipro (2.5 mg/L) and API General Cure (2.0 mg/L) contain sufficient concentrations of praziquantel.
2. Formalin – 45 to 60 minute bath treatment, followed by transfer into a sterile QT afterwards.
3. Hyposalinity – Treat at 1.009 SG for at least 10 days. This kills both the infective and free living stages of the life cycle.
4. Freshwater Dip – 5 minute freshwater dip may only provide temporary relief, and not result in complete eradication

Thank you! I have him in a QT tank with prazi, going to keep an eye on him and will update further down the road.
