How to Tell if firefish has ich?

[mrchinky71]

Well I just saw my firefish dove into the sand. I don't know if it was trying to get a piece of food ir scratching itself. How can i tell if my firefish has ich? It's body is white so i can't see any white spots near the gils. My clownfish is sharing the same tank and it seems perfectly fine. Not scratching itself, though it is not moving anymore, just hovering in the same spot of the tank.

Keep an eye on the fish and check frequently for the spots, they are easier to see at certain times than others. Try to look at his whole body from different angles as this may allow you to see it better if its there. If over a period of a couple days you see no more signs, likely wasnt scratching/doesnt have any serious ick problem. I hope what I said just made sense
