few ick ????

[tmkx3]

have been treating for ick with coppersafe for 3 weeks now. My tang has a single white spot on his fin. The one he uses to swim with(Don't know the technical name for it). Is this still ick? He has been clear of all spots since the third day of treatment. I had to top my tank off with ro/water last week. Does that effect the copper levels. It seems like the test was just slightly lighter when I tested but I don't want to over medicate. Can this be something else? :roll:

A picture would help.

If the spot has remained in the exact same location for longer than a week then it is unlikey that spot is ich ... might be lympho which is a viral problem (kinda like warts in humans) - sometimes looks like ich when its real small. If lympho then there is no cure but lympho is normally just a cosmetic issue and often goes away on its own.

Might do a google search for lymphocystis .. s/b lots of info as well as some pics.

Hope this helps.
