They look like my photos from last year. The parasites have cilia and they roll around in the tissue.

That looks mighty uncomfortable. Much worse than a few white spots.
We need a 5k Charity run to help stamp out Ich.

400 total mag worked great for me. I didn't need to go up to oil immersion, or 1000x.
