I believe my fish have an "ick" infection. What should I do?
I know this sounds like I'm just asking for advice without research but I have been doing some research. I've heard about Hyposalinity, Copper, and little "ick"
[hr]
. But I have a lot of questions and don't want to jeopardize the life of my tank any more than it already is.
So my Hippo Tang has white dots all over it, and my Perc. has white stuff on him as well, not dots but looks almost like a slime (see pictures, Brooklynella?) I added the Hippo 4 days ago and immediately my clown went into hiding. He came out of "hiding" about 2 days later but wouldn't eat. I figured he was just stressed. Today when I got home from work I found my fish in the condition described/ seen below. I also have a green Chromis who isn't exhibiting any signs of illness. The Hippo is still eating very well.
In case people go crazy about the Tang, I inherited from a friend who was breaking down his tank. The color in the face was on its' way back, gaining blue color. (It's a slow process) But what I'm referring to is obviously the white spots.
I know this will sound crazy but I feel like a bad person because my fish are suffering, lol. Can anyone direct me towards some good information as to how to properly go about getting rid of this?
