Heniochus Ich???

[Caleb]

Well heres the story,

On sunday (mothers day) i went to the lfs and they are very overpriced but i finially decided to go with a heniochus and ended up paying 90 for him and i bring him home drip acclimate him and put him into my tank yah dumb move there all thats in there besides him is a clown so i put him in and feed him and he eats right away. Yesterday i came home checked on him and took a nap this was about 4 and then i got up at 9 and looked at him again and he had small bubble/salt like specks on him and i went back to bed at about 11 and couldnt tell any difference. So todya i come home and there are way far less spots on him and i called the store and they said that it may just be from stress it happens sometimes when they first get them in to give it a day and then start treatment. So what do i do i want to check this and this is my first time ever with possible ich what treatment do you guys reccommend? And todya is water change day should i go ahead and do my change?


Thanks a lot

Caleb

There's no reason not to do the WC.

The LFS might be right, then again, they might be wrong. Is there any way you can get a pic showing the spots?

Ich usually wont cycle that quickly. The spots are usually on the fish for longer before dispearing. if it IS ich, then they'll be back. If the fish seems OK and spot free, I think I'd wait to see if it comes back. How does the clown look?
