Is this ich?

I've had this pair of clownfish in my tank for about a month or two now. They (and my other fish) have been doing great. I recently added a yellow tang last week, and now I am noticing some white spots on my fish. Is this ich? What do I do?



ps - how do i post this so the pic actually shows up instead of just a link?

If you have your pics hosted online and want to post them, just click the "IMG" button at the top of the page when doing your post, put the address in the box that appears, and then click ok that your done, and the pic will show up.

With regards to the fish, go to the fish disease treatment forum and read the stickies that have to do with ich and its treatment. Some people use meds, others use hyposalinity, others just try to keep their fish healthy and try to ward off the parasites that way. I have used hyposalinity with great success, myself.
