Please Help, this is breaking my heart

[Cap'n]

Sounded like ich to me right from the beginning. Don't be confused about the "supposed" inability to catch ich after the prescribed dormant period is over. I have come to view ich as a deadly form of the common cold. make sure everything else is fine in the tank and the fish should be able to overcome the everpresent ich. I know many will disagree with this statement and there will be those who will side with me. Just what I have learned after a few decades of keeping fish.
