Ich doesn’t exist...help

aquakj · Feb 26, 2021

Hey guys so I had another ich outbreak I’ve decided to go from ich management to ich eradication once and for all!!! Here are some pics please let me know if this is regular ich or black ich or a mixture I do notice some darker spots on the sailfin tang...also please advise on how to use copper haven’t used it yet cuz I know it can be sketchy so I’m waiting for the fish to settle down since they’ve just been transferred into the QT...also sailfin tang is the only one showing spots as well as a clown but they have been eating really well which is good...so please shoot your advice thanks

From those pictures it looks like velvet on your Sailfin. You need to get into a copper QT immediately.

It’s in QT I’m just a little iffy about the copper dosage I have cupramine on hand right now...he’s been like this for over a week so I feel if it was velvet he would’ve died already

the fish are in QT they are doing great I have been treating with copper and the ich seems to have been beaten as there have been no signs of it for a little while now...hopefully it stays this way

Good to hear. I just beat a case of Ich myself with no casualties.
