I had ick and treated it. No visable signs of it for about 2 weeks now. However seems like some of my fish have gotten a secondary infection of some sort. On a few of the fish like 1-3 scales are a light pinkish grey. Some look like they might fall off. Any idea what this might be? Fins are fine also. Trying some Melafix see if that wont help. Fish are all eating fine also. Did a water change of 20% about 5 days ago and Im on my 4th day of this medication.

How did you treat the ich? Are the fish acting normal, eating, etc?

I treated the ich with hypo. All the fish are acting normal with the exception of my Butterfly. Every 10-15 mins he will go up to the top of the water and put his mouth outta the water. They are all eating just fine. I run a wet/dry system. 4powerheads.. fuval 404 with a 36w DoubleHelix UV (when Im not treating the tank).. I also soak all thier food in Garlic. Do a 10-20% water change every 2 weeks.
