Hi
I'm posting here hoping someone can let me know if theres a problem with my new discus. I've just started keeping discus 2 days ago while have previously been keeping normal tropical fish and still am.
Anyways I'm not sure if this is ich and I hope someone here will be kind enough to help this newbie out.

These are photos I've just taken tonight. I watch these guys very carefully and probably just spotted it. I'm not quite sure if this guy was like that when I bought him from LFS:

(Sorry about the bad pics.)

I've circled what look like a white spot:

Age of fish: Had him for 2 days.

Tank Size: 55 galons/ 220 Litres. Established 3 month old tank.

Symptoms: Just a white spot. I posted here as soon as I spotted something.

Eating or not: Fish is eating like the other 2 discus.

If theres anything I've left out, I apologize.
Please help me out guys.

Thanks :D

You could try adding some salt to your water it will help the discus settle in as well as cure the itch if it is not too bad..I think the dosage rate is 1 teaspoon per 40L but somebody may be anle to clarify this.HTH

like norto said 1tsp of salt.40L will help them settle those bumps will dissapear as the fish settle in.
