This is very strange. I checked my fish for ich today (it would be their 3rd treatment) and Nemo had seven spots (about like yesterday and not a single spot on the rest. (Also, some in the same locations as when they first appeared almost a week ago) Nemo is not acting sick and never has since the white spots appeared. No scratching, labored breathing, etc. This makes me wonder if it is really ich or just a bad case of air bubbles. I'm not sure what to do. I would be doing another treatment and 25% water change tonight but with how the fish is acting and the situation, I'm really not sure. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Also continue with baths, as these are more likely to help with sores or fungus /saprolegnia Carl |

The best pics were in the video, but I did not see anything other than a fat/healthy/active goldfish.
Maybe this is a coloration issue?
What medication are you using?

Maybe, as I said, no white spots appeared in the pics due to how bad my camera is. The spots are there!!! I am using the Paraguard I bought from you.
Should I discontinue treatment?

I would continue with at least 7 days of treatment, every other day, with a small water change before each treatment.
I have my doubts that it is Ich, but I do not want to take the chance that I am missing something.
Too bad Bill Gates or someone else has not invented a way to email ourselves LOL, then I would go there in person and look ;D

lol At least you're recommending every other day. Changing 10 gallons of water every day was starting to drive me nuts. I've learned quickly that big tanks require a LOT of water even when you just change 25%. Do I need to change the water after I give each dose? I have been and will continue to if I need to.

No you change water immediately before each dose. Carl |

Whoops, that's what I meant. I've been doing each water change BEFORE not after each dose. That was a typo.
