ich?

I'm just noticing this morning that one of my fish has a strange whitish patch on it. I immediatly was worried about ich and was hoping you guys could tell me what you think! Thanks!

Picture looks a little blurry to me. Check the fins for ich, there will be white spots on them if it does have it. Also watch it a little bit, if it starts rubbing up against rock, sand anything for a bit then it probably has it. If it just does that and doesn't have white spots it could be other things as well.

The patch isnt ich, hard to say excatly what it is though with that pic. But ich will look like specks of salt all over the fish, not in patches. Could be velvet though, so look into that.
