Please help me ID ich or Velvet? Spots on fins

[Jay Hemdal]

thank you for your interest. You can't see it in the picture but there are spots on the fins
I'll wait for Jay, maybe he'll save me again

Sorry, I’ve been out sick the past few days.

Small spots that come and go are a hallmark of ich. Hyposalinity will help with that. There is a sticky post in the fish disease forum for that.

The copper and is also a bit thin. Try feeding small amounts more frequently.

Can these fin problems may cause the death of the fish? He is skinny, unfortunately that's how I got him. I've had him for less than 2 weeks. I'm trying to feed him. He looks a bit better than before. I'm most happy that he eats frozen food, because when he came to me he wouldn't eat at all.

Although mine would eat a dog biscuit if i gave it to him, Better foods with fats and aminos will help. Fin ray and Lympho rarely if ever contributes to death

Thank you. I hope you feel better now. I read your protocols. I was already to do Hyposalinity but I'm not sure about the diagnosis. Chelmon has a few spots but they haven't gone away for almost 2 weeks. these spots on the fin that appeared yesterday.

I have a big buffet, some frozen food and a zooplankton farm. I also give vitamins to live and frozen food. I hope he will recover and gain mass and he will be such a whale as your chelmon. xD

These are all good. Feed 3X a day and add LRS Herbivore diet - Its the one that fill my fish best, has the highest level of vitamins and meat variety

I've spent the last few hours observing Chelmon and it seems to me that he has spots on his nose and eye. I also noticed something on the body.
do you see this too?

Looks like ich. I would also treat for flukes. Hypo would take care of both.

I would not be surprised if there is also lympho on the fins.
