Is it Ich?

[sandswhitson]

Yeah I am ordering some off the internet, just none available local and the order won't be here till next week. The fish does look better after the dip but still has quite a few round white specks that may be ich but he has been in 1.008-1.009 for 6 days now so hopefully in a few more he will lose those spots if it is actually ich. He is still acting great, breathing is calm, eats anything that hits the water, and isn't scratching.

Did you inspect the dip water after the dip? Was there any signs of parasites there?

Lee, you silly man....read all the posts....lol

Did you happen to see anything, in the dip water, afterward?

Hard to tell, there was a little sand left in the bucket that we used to dip him in so can't really see anything for sure.

Good news!!! today the fish looks 100% better. Still has a few spots and some places where the spots were are still discolored but he looks ALOT better! Thanks for all the help and hopefully we have this parasite beat, we will monitor him closely in QT for probably another 6 weeks and see if anything else shows up.
