"Diagnosis of "Ich" is easily confirmed by microscopic examination of skin and gills. Remove several white spots from an infected fish, then mount them on a microscope slide with a few drops of water and a cover glass. The mature parasite is large, dark in color (due to the thick cilia covering the entire cell), and has a horseshoe-shaped nucleus which is sometimes visible under 100 x magnification"
This is from a site I found reading up about this "fun" stuff, do I have to remove a white spot and look at THAT under the microscope. I've only been using the slide cover down there side. If I have to remove a white spot, what is the best way to do that without hurting them. If I didn't like the personalities so much one these three, I'd ship it back to the breeder. I so hope I can get them better, the people on the phone today where not much help
I'll find someone to take them too. We live in the middle of corn fields, most people around her plant gardens, may have a hosta or two, and a beta in a fish bowl.
