Fish has light spots, ich...something else?

[Lyssahblue]

hey all, I just joined this site specifically to ask about this. I have 3 blue green Chromis, one of them is getting these light spots...It doesn’t look like the pictures I’ve seen of Ich, but...what else can it be? Or is it ich...

are these new fish? Chromis are prone to uronema and bacterial infections. This is likely the start of one of those or even both. I often see this on new chromis. Treating with metroplex and kanaplex in a QT is a good idea and would cover both possibilities.

Thanks, yes, they’ve only been in my tank a week and I’m pretty new to this, I was bad and didn’t quarantine I do have an extra tank though, I will set it up tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know what meds to get, I appreciate it

Thanks @Humblefish. Sounds pretty grim, such a shame, I’ll be working on it though. Great information.
