Hello R2R! I bought my first nem today! When I was at the lfs I did my inspection of the tank and didnt see obvious signs of any issues. I got it home and a few hours later noticed all these white spots on it. Can nems carry ich? Or has anyone else seen something like this and have an explanation? I know (or at least from what i can tell) my tank did not have ich before.

I hope thats the case! It seems very happy in the tank and not bothered at all. Maybe I just missed them in the light from the lfs. Thanks for the response!
 
Mine has the same and I was told that it's okay and normal for certain ones from the wild and it goes away in time.
