![]() I just bought a couple of false percs from Gold's and when I got them home one seemed to look like it's molting for lack of a better word? and it has a few white spots that are only visible from a side angle? Could it be ich? If so, how do I treat?

![]() In molting do you mean like skin sluffing off?
If so get it into quarintine as you are probably dealing with Velvet. Here is a link to it and see if it matches up with is going on http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/fis...aa102797_3.htm

![]() Cryptocaryon sounds like what it is. A sort of clear mucus/ skin coming off top fins and 3 spots of white on back of body.

![]() Ick doesn't involve skin coming off. That is velvet and will wreck havoc in your tank.
It may also have ick in regards to the white spots but velvet is what makes there skin slough off. I would quarintine him/her and treat it myself as velvet can make its way through your tank rather quickly. So can ick mind you ![]() Just my 2 cents worth
