Can you tell by looking at the size of the spots if this is ich or velvet? I couldnt catch all the spots but theres a lot more on the whole body. If you zoom in on some of the pics you can see lots of spots. I can even see white spots on the gill. He was swimming vertically for a few days before i noticed the spots.
This is a new fish i got from a reputable seller. I had him in qt for 2 weeks and treated with prazipro. He wasnt eating much in qt so decided to put him in DT after 2 weeks instead of my usual 4 weeks. I inspected closely in sunlight before moving and didnt see any spots on him. Within 4 or 5 days of putting him in dt he started showing white spots on his fins. 3 days later (today) he is laying on the sandbed panting. I took him out and flushed him down. Now i am worried about the other fishes in my tank. If its velvet I'm in for a bumpy ride. I can see same white spots on my copperband, foxface and kole tang. Question is did the angelfish bring this with him or was it ich he picked up from the dt. I know my dt may have ich. A powder blue had ich in my tank months ago. I removed and treated him. The rest of the fishes never showed any sign until now but i never ran fallow.
