Pics very dark but I see mucus cones mixed with ich and some may be ich which they are susceptible to and recommended is treatment in a separate tank . Often you will notice other occupants show no signs but recommended is to remove all fish and treat them as well using coppersafe or copper power for a full 30 days at 2.25ppm which they respond to well and add an air stone and monitor copper level with a reliable Copper Test kit such as Hanna Brand- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.

Thanks, I kinda figured. It’s been off and on with this fish for a few months, but I assume that’s the parasite cycle where they go back to free swim/breed, and they seem to always find my hippo.
