Not sure what my tang has, its either Ich or marine velvet.
I am in the research phase on treatment and want to make sure I treat for the correct parisite. What would be the best way to distinguish between the two?
All the pictures of fish with ich have about 1/2 the spores(?) as my tang. However, the pictures with marine velvet have about 2x the spores.... Here is some background.
Day #1 Saturday
I bought the tang from petco from a tank with two other tangs with white spots. This purple tang looked clear of any spots and had been in there for the last two days. I have a quarintine tank and planned to quarintine for 4-6weeks if it did not develope signs of ich/mv, longer if it did.
Day#2 Sunday
I notice small white sptos on the fish over the entire body. These spots almost look like micro air bubbles. I decide to add a 1/2 dose of Malachite Green.
Day#3
This moring the fish looked good. Swiming about with normal breathing. The white spots are much bigger now. They are about the size of a grain of salt.
I plan to begin a hyposalinity treatment for about 6 weeks. Any thoughts?
