Hey everyone, I have a dilemma. I have a hippo tang with what might be an infestation of ich that took over, however I do not remember ich being this bad before.
Quick backstory. I had fish previous to these new fish. I got velvet and I went fallow for 80+ days. I found a person that quarantine fish and started buying quarantine fish. Only thing I introduced are the fish I got from this vendor. Unfortunately, this is the outcome to one of the fish. I noticed the fish had white spots almost a week within, but thought it was debris as the fish would swim and eat normally. However, as the days move forward he has gotten an outbreak. Now I know I have a parasite once again in the tank. However, I would like feedback if it is ich indeed or should I worry for the worst which is velvet. I am debating on contacting the vendor at the moment.
