help with clown

[cloudgodd]

I noticed this morning I was missing a clown...after searching for him I found him he was severely grayed out breathing heavy really heavy and he has a couple and I mean a couple of white spots but they a hard to see.. I Q tanked him and I am raising the temp to 86 F now .

Is this ich or something else? here a 2 pic I was able to get.




this one he is up against some dirty glass but look towards his tail glss is clean there.

I can't tell. Can you circle the white spots you are talking about?

sure, also notice how much his eye is bulging:

Have the spots gotten any more obvious overnight? Ich takes about 24 hours for me to see it growing from "I think something is there" to "ICH!"

nope no more spots than that this morning but he seems to be doing better I dosed him last night with half dose of quick rid and a dose of metafix and the tank wont get hotter than 82 F. he is still breathing heavy but he is swimming around and eating more.

That probably is Ich. If so, You'll have to treat the main tank for a few weeks as well to completely eradicate the Ich.
