Ick?

[abryant]

Can’t tell if this is ick or not but I just noticed two little white spots on my hippo tang I’ve had him for maybe a little less then a month and they just seemed to appear today is this ick? I tried to take as many pictures to show you guys it’s just hard to tell on camera but the one spot is on his side fin and the other is on his top fin

it’s extremely difficult to tell with those photos however 1 or 2 individual spots may not be of concern if the fish is swimming normally, eating and not scratching on surfaces

Hard to see the spots (I can see the one on the dorsal fin). I would monitor for now, but be ready to treat if the spots begin to multiply.

I mean he’s swimming pretty normally but sometimes it looks like he kind of shivers/shakes

That could be a sign of ich called 'flashing.'

I would observe for another couple days. Ich spots will drop off and reappear in different spots.
