Thanks again everyone!!!

I can find other long narrow things that look like flukes. But they are not as defined as that, even at X1000. I read on aquaticcommunity.com that the symptoms of flukes are similar to ick. My fish are going to hate me, but I got out a magnify glass to see if I could see eye movement. I can't find anything that looks like eyes on the white spots. They are just white spots, some are circle, some are like rice. I did notice on one there where some white dots between the gills and the "arm" fin. I did not notice anything else on the there bodies, it is concentrated to the tail.

I looked up that virus too, these physical spots don't look like that, carp pox and such reminds me of cold sores that people get, these don't look like that, they are more like lil grains of rice. When those bumps form, you can see at least one white grain in them, one site said it could be a reaction to coldwater ick.

I'm treating with salt and quick cure (still raising salt levels). If it is flukes will this get it? Or should I be using potassium perm? I got a good look at the white spots, I don't think it is the virus cus I can see through the bumps, besides for the white grain. On the ghost one with the black fin, after the bump popped it was yellowish. On the blue shusui there tails are almost clear, so the bumps are fairly clear too when they pop.

Here are some pics at X1000 of other things that looked like flukes. I can take more tail pictures if that would help. I can't really find anything with a half moon shape, and even though I rushed to look, I could not see anything moving.

Thanks again!!!!!
