Powder Blue...Ich or Lymph

Andrew Schubert · Apr 27, 2019

Im thinking this is actually Lymph. My Copperband Butterfly had Lymph 6 months ago and looked very similar to this. It looks to big to be Ich. It's also only on the one side of the guy near his gills/eyes/fin. I'm thinking he might have just got stresses as I had my return pump out cleaning last night, and go figure my power heads malfunction throughout the night. So the tank was stagent all night. There was no sign of this stuff on him yesterday. But knowing PB r prone to Ich I thought I'd double check. I've never had one of my fish get Ich, so have only seen it in pics. And boy was it hard to get these pics as he never stops moving...lol

Appears more as velvet which they catch quickly. I would start with a freshwater dip followed by either low dose of copper ir prazipro and see how it looks after 24hrs. If improvement, continue treatment
