Treatment advice

ab2gail · Mar 18, 2019

I do biweekly water changes and I went to do mine today and I noticed a spot on my clownfishes head. No other spots of ich. I’m not sure if I should leave it and let it fight it off on it’s own like some have said in threads I’ve read, or treat it and my others in a quarantine tank. I’m afraid if I leave it in my dt I’ll have dead fish, and if I quarantine they’ll all die anyways. I’ve never had good treatment experiences and I’ve only been in the hobby a little over a year. Advice would be great!

Try to get a picture and post it so that others can help you determine what is going on.

Can you get a pic under white lights (no blues)?

I’m not able to get one. It’s not wanting to show up on camera, but it does seem to be much more faded as if it’s barely there. Could it just be something I overreacted to and assumed it was ich? I know this is very hard to help with no pictures.

Ok, is the spot raised like a granule of salt? Does it resemble cauliflower? Or is it smooth with the skin?
