HELP.... need some help on the pics... do my fish look like having diease? marine ich?
INFO:
--- I have a 50G tank +30g sump. I just recently bought 3 chromis. They looked all healthy and acclimated to the tank nicely and all 3 were swimming around happily and ate food right away. I did NOT quaranteen them unforturnately. ---
--- I actually have a separate possibly QT-tank already with SW in them with a powerhead and lotssss of cheato there next to my balcony for the sunlight... but for some reason after I got the fish and I did a quick test, the nitrate in the QT tank was like 40ppm or something, so I decided to put the 3 chromis right in the display tank.
-- 2-1/2 days later 1 of the chromis died, of no apparent reason. I have a pistol shrimp, 2 cleaner shrimps, percular clown, coral beauty angel, PJ cardinal in my tank.
-- so this is now after another 4-5 days and I'm still worrying about diease from the chromis (why the death?!?) so I stared at my other fish for a long time and took these pics. The 2 remaining chromis are still looking fine and eating as of tonite, I don't see anything wrong on the chromis, not yet anyway touch wood.
But these below worry me: (click on the link for full size pics)
Coral beauty-- 1 bigger whitish dot on the top fin. 2-3 small white dots near the head... but the small ones seem to have disappear late tonite.

Clown#2-- couple of black dots... and 2 white dots near the top fin (the shade of orange color was only coz my camera flash was above water level, nothing wrong there)

Do I have a problem here? ich and black ich? :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:
Also another thing to add... my pistol shrimp is digging alot so he's often stirring up quit abit of dirt up in the water... which u can see in the pics... and **MAYBE** some/all of the white dots on the fish are simply dirty sticking on them?!?
