Early Brook often initially presents like Ich or Velvet. Take a look at the pictures in the link KJ posted. You'll see Early, and later pictures of Brook's progression. Scroll down and you will see Humblefish's full treatment advisory on Brook.

how would I go about giving him a freshwater dip? I have an extra 5 gallon tank I think I'm gonna use as a hospital but I don't have a filter for it just an extra wavemaker.

you can just get a super cheapo HOB filter from petco or amazon, heck even wall mart. it don't have to be fancy at all. you would also need a heater for hospital tank, obviously. for fresh water dips i just clip a tupperware container to the side of my QT tank and let the tank water heat the tupperware water (like floating a bag with new fish).
