Sixlines and sand
My sixline constantly has white dots all over him... and I'm kind of worried that its ich. However the dots constantly fall of and come back in different places... and sometimes aren't there at all.
Do sixlines get more sand stuck to them because they secrete mucus? |

I think its most likely ich. BUT it might not be.
do any of your other fish have white dots? I would just keep an eye out of other signs of ich not eating..etc

Then I think you should just keep an eye on him and you will be good

No they don't get sand "stuck" to them. Its likely ich, but ich isn't a fatal parasite which is why he's eating and acting fine. Most of the time it will take care of itself on its own.
