Thanks for the quick help! It’s pretty hard to see unless under good lighting. The fish is eating and appears the same as always without labored breathing. I moved him and his pal to a quarantine tank. I’ll keep a close eye on him.
As far as other mates in the tank, YWG and pistol shrimp were added at same time. Only additions were some more blue leg hermits and 2 peppermint shrimp last week.
Here’s a vid before I moved to the qt. It’s hard to notice.
Yep - that is a key feature I think. The spots are running along the fish’s lateral line, they must somehow be related to that. Ich doesn’t grow like that. Ich spots also come and go and change in numbers over time. I think this is due to some irritation to the fish’s lateral line. There is a common disease that tangs get called lateral line erosion, but clownfish don’t really get that.Not much has changed, but I was able to get a decent pic. The bumps, at least in the front, appear be along a vein.
See how these spots are in different locations and not on the lateral line? That means the spots on the lateral line were either coincidental, or something new is cooking here.I haven’t treated, but he is still in my QT tank. This is what the little guy looks like now. More bumps and white more visible.
Yes, if it is ich, the spots will come and go at first, don’t let that lull you into a false sense of security.I ordered some copper, but I decided to do a 5 minute fresh water dip yesterday.
To my surprise, all the white bumps are gone now. I plan to still use the copper and house in my QT tank.
