Is this ick

I saw my fire fish looked like it had white spots on it and immediately pulled it out of my dt and into a smaller tank with nothing in it. Now it looks like there is nothing on them… any ideas?

It’s hard to make anything out with the heavy blue light - can you repost under whites?

I took them out of the dt so there are no lights in the small quarantine tank haven’t started any treatment but now I can’t see anything on them… not sure but scared

It looks like sort of scales that are almost peeling off the fire fish? Only seen at an angle any idea?

Appears to be a bacterial issue which they are susceptible to and based on the size and location of the spots should be treated with Seachem Neoplex in a quarantine tank or you can use ruby Rally in the tank but will take longer and not be as effective as Neoplex

Ich moves and multiplies every 24 hours and will cover the fish and weaken the fish to the point of death. You will see more dots and coverage tomorrow if it is/were ich
