Pretty sure its ich....

After moving some fish around and into a smaller aquarium over the last week, my clown has developed what appears to be white mite looking things on her..Eyes are looking a little cloudy and although she has always been lazy, now she is less active..
I've already gotten her into an even smaller bare bottom tank but I'm looking for legit ways to clean her up..I hope it isn't a lost cause as Emo Nemo has become a staple here..
TIA

Can you post some pics? It might be Ich, or possibly something else like brook or just Lympho. I'll post some links below which contain photos you can compare to.

Looks like Velvet to my eyes.

Same here, I think its too small to be ich.

Well crap..I had thought of that but I've never seen any of these "live"...Ideas ?

ETA: I started the procedures from humble.fish as a precaution

All fish into copper asap and fallow the DT. The disease forum has @Humblefish treatment threads. I'm sure he'll chime in shortly to confirm or give proper ID.

I pulled her out this morning and just did the fresh dip..Eyes look better and she doesn't seem as "carpeted"..Looking around for some meds now

Aquahut should have Copper Power.

Somehow that doesn't seem too hard,lol...I'm looking at copper power and the other one that he recommends on his site

Definitely velvet and definitely need to get that clown (and any fish she shared water with) into copper ASAP.

I would also dose Metroplex every 48 hours for the first week just in case brook is also in play here.

She, unfortunately, did not make it past the second day..She was the only fish in that tank though so it has essentially been set to the side for a few months

Sorry to hear the fish didnt make it, How are the other fish doing ?
Sometimes odd things happen that are hard to find answers.

The other fish were in newly acquired QT..guess I was a little lucky there
This was the only fish in at the time

Velvet is merciless on fish and in order for a hobbyist to save a fish from this infection requires immediate action, and honestly, some foresight and readiness in case this happens. Velvet and Uronema are two just there is little you can do unless you were already ready for it.
