I can't really get a good glimpse of it, but I think there is a white spot on its left side above its eye. PLus, it is scratching against a rock and swimming only in a strong current. The strong current could help it get oxygen if it has ich. Anyone have any suggestions to help me ID ich?

If he's got it, you'll soon see it covering him. It's usually easy to spot on them. If he moves to fast to get a good look, stand in front of the tank and don't move for a while. They usually calm down enough to see them better.
The problem when trying to look at fish is that, from their prospective, we are 200 pound sharks staring at them. Don't move and you'll see him fine.
