Ok my quarter sized hippo is still having trouble. I've been feeding him garlic-soaked brine since sunday because he's been scratching an awful lot. I started with the garlic as a precaution to ick but I never saw any distinct white spot on him. Now its hard to differentiate between scratches and diseases cuz he's tearing himself up. I also noticed that he does the weird jerking/twitching routine and it doesn't look like he's comfortable. He is still scratching but he is also still eating. Although, his stomach seems like its has little black pores on it. Are these scratches? Does anyone know whats wrong and what I should do? Please, I really don't want to lose this fish. Thank You.
