ich a tanks best friend

:help: are white spots a guarantee of ich? i have a copperbanded butterfly who has one lil white dot on his fin. he seems healthy otherwise. it is not rubbin on any rocks or breathing heavy and it seems to be eating and adjusting to the tank just fine. could this spot be something different from ich?

No, it could also be lymphocyctis. Take a look at the pictures in the Diseased Fish Thread.

thanks. im thinking my butterfly has spots that look more like the lymphocyctis. from what ive ready there is no cure and its just to feed them well and maintain the water.

Lymph is very much and enviornmental and psychological disease...it is a sign the animal is not happy. You need to also rule out aggression.
