If I add copper in, can the white spot already on the fish body be removed? Or it can only kill the ick swimming?
Feels sad for the fish catch ick...

The white spots are where the ick has already fallen off the fish. No, Copper cannot kill ich while it is on the fish.

it only kills the ich during the free swimming stage so it keeps your fish from getting reinfected after the ich drops off

...but what it looks like when it's on the fish? I thought the white tiny spot is the ick.
