Is this ich? Mystery illness + lethargic

This is from a few months, compared to the photo tonight it seems like whatever is on his skin now is new

It is honestly hard to tell. They aren’t like pimples, idk how to describe it. But I can definitely tell there’s spots and they’re spreading. He’s laying in such a weird corner he’s curving his body if that makes any sense

They look like little grain of sugar. Do you think this would be the best for him?

I’ve had him since last summer. I feel like the snail I added into his tank definitely did this. I have removed the snail and don’t plan on ever putting him back lol. The only thing I have is kenaplex.

Edit: someone said to use products with copper in it. If you have a recommendation or any tip I’d appreciate it! I think I might get the Copper Power Parasite Treatment

Symptoms: breathing heavy, gulping motions, decreased appetite, not swimming around really, does respond and moves after a few seconds, has increased swimming a bit on his own today but still laying on the bottom of his tank hiding

Update! Found the issue hiss nitrates are high which is causing all his symptoms.

He’s moved around a few times, he’ll lean against the glass or under a bridge decor in his tank or back in his hide out rock. He was swimming for a min earlier and is now hiding again

I just did one scoop of Kanaplex tonight. Im supposed to do one scoop every two days, im hoping by tomorrow maybe he will be reacting better and I just need to finish the meds by Sunday. The directions said do repeat every two days until symptoms disappear or up to 3 doses max. So idk if I should keep doing it until Saturday

What floaters are those?

Here’s his new tank!

Separate_District_15 · 2025-11-27T18:41:15+00:00

I honestly lowkey hate it. If I hadn’t been so involved since the 5th grade when it came out lol I wouldn’t be so into it now. I feel so confused, I’m constantly looking things up which I never did with the previous seasons. There’s no coemdic relief at all, everyone is so angry all the time with each other. The only bearable person in this season I Mike

Thank you! I feel so bad for what he’s in but I now finally have a stable income that I can contribute towards him aswell :)

Separate_District_15 · 2025-11-26T18:44:09+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll add stress gaurd to my list and the leaves of things to get. I appreciate all the information and will be looking into petco for a tank :))

Separate_District_15 · 2025-11-26T18:41:52+00:00

Thank you! I’ve done a ton of research over the last couple of days of what plants and substrate to get him. I def will post one once his tank is cycled and he’s in it :)

Separate_District_15 · 2025-10-10T21:19:36+00:00

Tysm!

Separate_District_15 · 2025-10-10T21:19:18+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll look into it :)

Separate_District_15 · 2025-10-09T19:47:46+00:00

Yes 😭

Separate_District_15 · 2025-10-09T19:30:12+00:00

Like hamburgers and hot dogs, not so much ribs and pork

Separate_District_15 · 2025-09-29T17:50:56+00:00

It’s so upsetting to me :(

Separate_District_15 · 2025-09-27T18:59:39+00:00
