I agree, you'll want to act quickly as Mel has suggested.That looks very much like velvet. Are they breathing heavily, swimming into the flow or hiding a lot?
You can do a freshwater dip and rally bath in the mean time to buy you some time.
Hiding for sure, she (he maybe?) came out for some food, but otherwise stays tucked behind the PVC. The Rhomboid is out and swimming mostly.
I have Ruby Rally, so a dip in that is in order I suppose.
Is it worth risking CP now? Or just wait until the copper arrives tomorrow?
I personally am not sure I believe this is ich. Looks very much like velvet to me...I feel like it's better to be safe than sorry in this case :/
X2 this looks like velvet to me-- and I rarely see ich where it affects wrasse that severely due to the mucous cocoons they sleep in and a thick mucous coat.I'm still thinking velvet. The shape of the dots, the size and how he looked earlier..... TTM will help reduce the number of parasites each time, but doing it every three days won't outrun the lifecycle. Doing it daily hasn't even been proven to work, only theorized.
I wondered if the camera shot caused the oval shape of some of the larger spots. You're more experienced than I, however!Its very close, but I actually think that's ich. Some of the dots look more oval shaped (ich) rather than perfectly round (velvet). Of course, maybe the fish has both.
I also think I see flukes and a bloated stomach in some of your other photos.
