Spots on my clown?

[fishboy]

O.k. in case anyone has read some of my very recent posts (like my tnak specs then you know the story) basically these are new fish to a new tank. The spots are white and everywhere from beside the mouth to the upper middle of the body close to the dorsal fin. Any ideas? I have never experienced a disease with my fish so I am kinda unsure? Thanks Joel

Hi Joel;


It sounds like the fish have ich brought on by the conditions in your new tank.
Please see my reply to your post on "Questions on a new tank"....btw, if you are able to remove the fish to a Quarantine tank (covered in my reply on other post), you can treat them with copper but make sure to follow the directions exactly and get a test kit to monitor the copper levels. Copper can be hard on fish in a weakened condition and bear in mind that any rock or substrate that you use with copper cannot be put into your main tank. Copper is poison in a reef tank.
