What is the Minimum Time Ich Cysts Will Appear On Fish?

[SkullV]

I was just wondering what the shortest time Ich Cysts will appear on a fish is?


I have a GSM Clownfish that I suspect of Ich but I am also thinking it could be sand particles since she does a "burnout" in the sand every couple of hours and is not flashing, scratching, or breathing heavily. The other reason is that the position of the TINY (almost hard to see with my eye) specs can change every couple of hours or there can be no specs present at all.

I know clownfish are not very suceptible to ich due to their thick slime coat, and I am thinking this may be why sand sticks so easily, but I am just a concerned parent!

Can you get a picture at all???

There is no way what I am seeing can be picked up on anything but a high dollar SLR camera. It is almost impossible to see with my eyes. Plus when I checked this morning there was nothing on her.

I would wait it out and see. Sounds like you are ok.
