    Yes - It is when they stop eating you are in trouble

    correct!!!--If they get it, dont freak. It is not neccessarily a death sentence. Just keep them eating, and their diet healthy (Garlic Selcon Zoe, etc.) and they usually will fight it off in a week or two.

    The reason im asking is my YT Damsel under the Blue lights has wierd spots, but he eats like a pig. So i was just seeing if they eat while having this. I', sure this is just how he is though.

    stress can always be a cause of ich--That is why the more you mess with the fish, the more they stress, the worse it gets!
