Is this ICH?

[RussC]

Not like any ich I've seen. But sure it comes in different forms. It looks more like a scratch than a dot or parasite. Its about 1/16th of inch in diameter. Just appeared in last 12 hours. Tank and fish are in great shape. No indication of stress. Fish is eating fine. Just for sake of discussion, owned fish since March 30. Installed a UV light on the tank at same time just to keep this fish.

If you are talking about the spot on the sailfin, I doubt it's ich. Looks too large. A clearer close up picture would be helpful. Most likely an injury from what I can see. You will want to keep an eye on it for secondary infection.

Here's another pic. It does look like a scrape.

what options are there for monitoring/managing/preventing an infection if it is a scrape?

I think Kanaplex is one way to treat. Check out The fish disease forum. HumbleFish & Others go over all that in great detail.
