i started noticing tiny dots on my clown tonight when the lights were off and the moonlights were on the tiny spots look darkish when the lights are off but when the lights are on i can barely see them because the clown is all white. i have no problem with ich in my tank i dont know why hes sick. my picasso looks fine but my platinum is breathing heavy. its so hard to freaking tell and its ####### me off because the damn clown is all white. when i look close the spots look like bumps and it doesnt really look like ich. right now hes in my 20 long qt tank with my snowflake thats been in there for almost 2 weeks. the snowflake is healthy so should i treat the tank even the snow is in good healthy condition

Brook typically looks more like a whitish coating a build up of mucus.

 

The only thing that bothers me is the rapid breathing, if they are in a qt and have been and the qt is cycled then I would watch and treat if you see any further development of white spots. Or changes in behavior like eating.

 

How long has the qt been set up ?

How long have you had it in there? Usually brook hits really soon after you introduce them to the tank due to shipping stress. The hard breathing thing is not good, brook can kill a fish in a matter of hours...

i had the clown for almost 2 months now in my display..never had an issue after being in qt tank for 1 day looks like everything went away..weird?!?! my qt tank had been up and running for 4 months now i usually keep it at 1.025 unless because i have a snowflake clown in there..i fed the platinum today and he ate fine its just strange why he had that outbreak
