Damsel in distress?

[chris619]

Have a new tank and one of my damsels has little white flecks on him. Please ID and doe help? All tests are dead on.

Is the tank cycled.. Is it scratching or swimming kinda jerky? Is it eating?

 

[chris619]

Yes, it has cycled. Eating very well. No apparent issues in behavior. Theres other fish and they look great.

Sounds like it could be Ich.. I would take it out ASAP and put into QT, and observe it for a few days.

Just put garlic juice in the food if he is eating. Hopefully it will go away. Fish can get ick from stress.

 

[shromy]

sounds like ich, if he looks to be scratching himself then defenatly.

Emerald entree and formula two from ocean nutrition. Have a regal tang that is acclimating for the tank right now. It is a 120 tech tank with 50G sump and refug.
