Well it finally hit me.... After 5 months of keeping all my fish away from diseases, i think i was finally hit.

Here's the scoop:
My GT was harassing my delhezi
So i put the GT inside a small critter cage inside the 55g so he woudl not attack
I realized this was too small so i moved him over to the 2g cory tank
that tank is fully cycled and the nitrate is always low etc
So just yesterday he was digging pits and attacking the glass
and now today he is a lot more lethargic and has some very small white spots on his fore head (very small)
So yesterday i added some iodized table salt just to be careful and some stress coat as well as an air pump to add oxygen
today i saw the white spots and hooked up a heater and themometer. The heater is 50watts so i have a close eye on the temperature
So i plan to do daily water changes

They are so small you can barely see them, and it almost looks like they are disappearing. But i still want to keep up with the salt and heat. I can't take pics because it is so small..
 
So...what are you treating?
 
If you wanted Lupin, you should have just read his sticky's OR pm him.....yes?
 
Can't really help you if you don't really know what your treating. Salt and high temp is not the only way to treat illness. But, you said the GT was digging in the cory tank yes? could just be fine sediments that got caught in it's slim coat. So, you might be treating something that's not there. And you kinda been here long enough to notice ich or not.
