Could this be ich

Post by jfi2ee »

So I've had the oceallris for roughly a month but I can't remember if the white patch was always in the fish.

Do you guys think it could be ich? There's no other visible white spots.

Does not look like ich to me.
My clowns got it a month or so ago ( lost one) and they looked like they had salt crystals on them. Yours look ok to me.

Could be Lymphocystis if it is like a raised bump. Assuming you are referring to the white mark on its dorsal fin. Ich generally looks more like your fish has been sprinkled with icing sugar.
