Ich or velvet?

I ordered hanna checker to measure copper, comes tomorrow. Purple looks same today as yesterday, and still not eating. Powder not really eating either. Purple came up and guarded nori from other fish and tried to eat couple times but didn’t. Offered mysis as well, no dice

So, with copper treatment, you are waiting for the feeding part of the ich life cycle to fall off. This can take a few days. Over the next few days, the spots will diminish more and more. After about a week, all fish should be spot free.

Day 5, they look much better both eating. The copper power instructions were spot on, Hanna had copper at 2.25
