I looked over the pictures int he sticky above but Im not convinced yet thatmy hippo has ich. unless she is just getting it. she has maybe 3 to 4 tiny white dots like pin head size on her sides. I wish my digital cam would take decent close pics but it doesnt. just turn out a blurry mess.

Did you just get the fish? Has it been exposed to ich?

had the fish 4 days. eating great.. schools around with my chromis all day and picks at the LR. the LFS I purchased it from held it for a week in there tanks to watch for sickness and all fish were healthy looking when I bought mine. So as far as I know it has not been exposed to ich

To be honest with you a few spots do sound like ich. Do some heavy feeding with fresh garlic soaked in the fish food and hope that the fish doesn't come down with full blown ich.
