Ick question!

[jaijai]

Does my fish have ick or is he normal what do you think?

I'm interested as to what others have to say about the photo as well.

Very hard to tell from the pic. ICH closely resembles grains of salt.

You do realize that the Matted Filefish has little thorns along the sides of its body? I think that's what you're seeing.

I agree, might just be the Matted Filefish

Would that account for the ones on the fins though? Or are those just bubbles

 

[Mike J.]

Actually, I was looking at that, too. Can you take a pic without the blue lights? What does it look like to you? Are they white clumps or (fluke) opaque bumps?

Are they white and opaque looking? May be Lymphocystus.

Well, you do have a legitimate concern. That is Lymphocystis virus. There really isn't a specific treatment for it. You want to keep the fish in high quality water and feed it vitamin enriched foods. It will most likely recover on it's own if these conditions are met.

Best thing to do for Lympho (since there isnt really a true treatment) is to leave the fish alone. Make sure it is eating well and not being bullied (let it relax). It's not going to spread to the other fish. My Kole Tang had this for the first month or so when he was settling in. It just disappeared one day and he was fine.
