My magnificent Foxface has Ich or velvet. I have looked at lots of pictures but I am having trouble classifying. I did put a 1/4 dose of Seachem Cupramine in (10 drops for 20g QT). The history: Sunday night foxface shedded his slime coat. Initially thought brookynella and immediately did a freshwater dip and treated with Formalin-MS and Metroplex. Foxface continued to swim normally and eat and after more reserch found out Foxface sometimes "shed". Did not do anymore doses of formalin or metro as things appeared to be ok but did not actively remove. Noticed yesterday that the Foxface was looking a little stressed (breathing a little hard and color was off) so completed a 8g water change. I work night shift so when I went to bed this morning and turned on light foxface was in his sleeping position but breathing ok. I woke up 7hrs later and he was swimming but covered in white spots. He does not appear to be gasping or swimming into powerhead. He is more or less now hanging out near the bottom of tank after dosing 10 drops cupramine. He did eat however. Here are pics. Ich or Velvet? Asking because that will determine if I need to stress him with another freshwater dip and/or ramp up copper faster. The 3 zebra barred dartfish also in with foxface all look healthy and no spots.
