Ick is Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. It looks like physical damage to the fish that resulted in a bacterial infection. Spawning, poor handling when caught, etc., etc. Anytime the slime coat is disturbed, it allows a path to infection. The more that the fish is stressed, the easier it is for the infection to get a foothold. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
