    Are you sure it was ich and not something more deadly like oodinium?

    I just read Roger's post about that to Kris, I don't know now!?!? I think it might be according to his description. What do I do now?

    I'm 99% sure oodinium was the killer. I thought it looked a little different than your "everyday" ich, but wasn't sure. I just did some quick research and my fish had shallow breathing first, then the white spots. The spots were smaller than ick and it did have a white coat covering pretty much the entire fish. Wow, that sucks. So what next?

    Ya it sucks hard but oh well gotta suck it up and move on. Sounds like Kogle has the same thing going through his tank. We both bought fish from the same wholesaler a while ago, maybe we got it from him. Otty bought fish from that guy too but he is running ozone, maybe that helped.
