Ich or not? I don’t want to misdiagnose
Hello! I have a 30 gallon with 2 goldfish- one oranda and one black moor. Just yesterday I noticed a few white abrasions that I can’t tell is ich, breeding stars, or another disease. I don’t want to act impulsively, but I have a super ich cure just in case. I do around 50% water changes weekly and feed my fish frozen blood worms and bug bites. Please tell me what your thoughts are!

Here are some more details- the only fish affected is my orange oranda. He occasionally rubs against a plant but I can’t tell if he is just swimming or intentionally doing it. He doesn’t seem to be in any pain. My black moor has no symptoms at all. They are both eating well.

Pics would help.
This is a saltwater/reef forum. You will have better luck on a different website.

OOPs, I missed that it freshwater. Ignore what follows.
First a "super ich cure" will NOT cure Ick. There are only 3 valid methods to cure ick. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1990809 Second, hard to diagnose without pictures. Can you post some pictures?
