I'm not sure if I'm battling Ich or not. I have two Green Barred Danio's (similar to giant danio's) and both had a little white on their lower jaws when I bought them. They were added to my 36 gallon (didn't have my Q-tank yet) with 3 giant danio's which also have had this white and it's never progressed. Shortly after introduction the white started growing so I added some cotton mouth medication but it didn't seem to help much. then one day I thought there was Ich on them so I tried netting them to keep them still enough to see them and the spots rubbed off on the net. I decided to ignore the white on the lower jaw and see what happens since it seems to stay at a certain level and never get worse. A couple days ago I noticed what looked like a bad case of Ich on these two danio's. I already had a platy and a barb in my q-tank treating them for internal parasites because they'd been swimming wierd so I added some Wardley's ich medication (blue stuff) to the 36 and the next day both my black ruby barb females were dead so I had to do something different. I had been treating the Q-tank for about a week and the fish had been acting a lot better so I decided to return them to their tanks since this ich problem looked worse. I did a water change on the Q-tank and netted the danio's to there but after I did this, I noticed the "ich" had mostly rubbed off and some of the spots seemed to be hanging off the fish on strings. has anyone ever seen this? can ich be rubbed off just by netting the fish? any ideas what else I might be fighting? I added some jungle ich medication (trashed the wardleys, lost my last fish with that suff) to the tank but I can always do a water change and use something else. thanks for any help. Kyle
