Realizing that I'm battling Ich, I've been closely investigating all of my fish. In doing so I found that my Ropefish has what appears to be a tiny black worm or a single hair sticking out from under it's chin and there also a black spot on a little lower than his fins on his belly. It also has red spots near it's anal fin. I have no clue what this is, but I'm terrified of what it may due to my tank. Once again my own impatients (for not Qting) may cause me to lose some of my fish. Things were just going so good for me and the Rope looked so healthy that I just assumed I've come this far with no major problems, nothing will happen now! Guess I may be in for a rude awakening!
Can you please take a peak at these pictures and let me know if you know what it is and how I should treat it? I'm very hesitant in using meds because I don't want to kill any of the fish, but if that's the best chance I'd like to know.
