Link for fish disease photos?

I was wondering if anyone had a link to a site that had pictures of different fish diseases. I am trying to ID ich on my fish. It does not look like what others are describing with white specks. My tang has "cysts" on her like pimples. Some have a whitish head to them. I have been treating it with Kick ich since Friday. Has not gone away but from what I can gather from info from other sites, it has to go through the lifecyle and "hatch" out of her before it can be killed. I would like to see a picture of ich in this stage to be sure that is what I am dealing with. I caught it pretty early before the fish was covered in white.

Kick Ich is not very effective.
Take a look at the pic of the percs in the FAQ thread.

It really does not look like the pics of the percs. It looks like my fish has acne.

The percs have severe ich and their movement caused the pic to kinda make the ick look elongated. What you are describing sounds like ich. Basically, looks like grains of salt has been sprinkled on the fish.
Can you get a pic up?

i will try but may be a while. hard to get the fish to come close enough to get a pic that you can see the bumps.

If you do a search on the web, you should come up with various pics. If this is a new fish, then likely it is ich. Do you have a QT?
