Setting up QT now. Coppersafe should be here at around 1. Royal gramma is looking alot better with fewer spots and not as sick looking. Since it hasnt killed anything yet maybe its ich? I couldn't catch him for a FW dip but i will before he goes into QT

It's not a 100% sure way to tell but Crypto (Ich) tends to be more oval where Velvet tends to be more round.

Yes and another sometimes more easy way to tell is how numerous the spots are -- if you cannot easily count them (too many to count) then you're dealing with velvet.

Also, I agree that looks like velvet.
