I got a magnifying glass and to me it looks like Epistylis not Ich,, there are no uniform white spot , it looks more like flaking or fuzzy skin, patches from the side view ,, its so hard to see on one inch corys and they always got sand on there bodies from burrowing which sticks to them, what a PITA trying to figure this out, so i ordered the Ich-x on amazon. after i did some research i found that one of the ingredients in this product kills Epistylis as well as Ich. also at the same time the tank has some kind of fungus or algae that is translucent white fuzz growing on the anubias pants, glass and in the filter that is slimy,, also dealing with cloudy water at same time, i can do a 25 percent water change and it helps , but the next morning it all cloudy again , not bad but enough to drive me nuts,, this all started after getting a bunch of anubias plants week ago from a very well known online store, not sure what this is, some kind of boom. any thought on what this could be. there is no drift wood in the tank

the only product i could find in NH was tetra and top fin, and i won't use anything they make,, i was able to find API Super Ich,, treated 5 gal at half dose with one little cory to see how it does and if it works,,, my main tank parameters are: GH-0, NO3-30ppm, NO2-0, CL2-0, KH-40, PH-7.2, temp 76, trying to keep hospital tank same as main just incase i see signs in the others and have to drop them in the five, trying not to heat the tank unless i have to..im 60 have had fish my hole life and only had Ich once and never on cory's,, and also thank you for all your advice ,, what do you know and think about API super Ick?

will this treatment kill the apple and snails anubias plants? i got the 2 little ones out and into a 5 gal tank with seeded sponge filter, 76 degrees right now,, they are the only 2 that i can see that have some white on them and one has it on its eye that is clouded over, that one seems to be in rough shape now,

Help,,, I have 3 older salt pepper cory's 2 that are 10 and one that is 21 years old,, i just got 6 new babies and did not quarantine them and now i have noticed one of them rubbing all over the tank on sand, plants and rocks,the babies are only about an inch long and hard to see, but i thing 1 or 2 have spots,, How can they be treated in a planted tank with apple snails,, i have had cory cats my for 40 years and have never seen one get ich, any advice would be great, the 20 year old female was my late dads fish and it would be sad to loose her due to my stupidity. No other fish but cory's in this tank
