Please help - I think I have ich

[Eddie79]

I have never seen ich, but I think that I have it. My large onyx clown has white stuff all over him (looks like dust on him). He is active and eating just fine, but it's all over him. How can I tell for sure?

Or if someone could help me set up a qt tank. Just don't want her or any of my other fish to die.

Thank you!

I have a 90 an it's always running bring him by if you want

If one fish has it, they all have it. Sounds like ich to me. You'll probably need to qt all fish. Consider yourself lucky if you haven't had ich before. Time for copper treatment. It's not fun or easy, but you can get through it without any casualties.

Yea cause if i was right fish probably dead or almost by now . Ive also seen fish specially clowns get irritated by a coral they rubbing on so they produce a heavy slime coat which makes em look sick .

I will take a pic when I get home. I do have a tube anemone if that could cause it to have problems.

I just recently cured ich on my royal gramma. I used no-ich.... I didn't do anything else (salinity/temp/feeding/removed him). Used this product twice already with success ...I think the key is catching ich early.

Thank you all for the help. I set up a 10 gallon QT with a power head, heater, air stone and some PVC piping for hiding. I am using cupramine. I only have the infected clown caught until I make sure I know what I'm doing regarding water changes and such. I will move the rest of the fish over after my first water change.

Thank you for all of your help!

Oh, and I took like 20 photos last night, but couldn't get a good picture of her

Keep a close eye on the ammonia and nitrite and use a bacteria supplement to counter act the spikes. Slowly bring the copper to 0.6 over a few days time. Good luck.
