Does my fish have ich/ick??

Question

my danio had around 7-9 white spots on its body and tail. i heard that the fish scratch themselves with objects and they also close their fins but my fish never does that. now the spots fell off and only one visible spot is left in the top fin. but i never see scratching. why is that?

my danio has had only one spot on it for 3 days now

Answer 1

Did they actually "fall off" or did they just go away? Usually ich would spread fairly quick even with only one colony. Sounds like the spot might just be tiny bubbles??

If there are any other fish in the tank and they show signs of colonization, then it is most likely ich.

Answer 2

Most likely a fungus or parasite, get some Mardel Maracide, it takes care of ich and parasites. Some fungus medicine might be in order as well.

Answer 3

I'd be very suspicious that it's some type of parasite, if not ick.
