I have the same thing on my majestic!! It is velvet, and its 100 times worse than ick! Harder to kill, and will spread to all your fish in no time. All I can say is read up on it. It is nothing to mess with, and im scared im gonna lose all my fish to it. Lower your SG to 1.020 or lower to around 1.016 if it doesnt get better. If you have a QT tank, get the fish out and start treating with copper. The bad part though is, your tank will still have it when you put your fish back in. Im still reading up on it myself, so hopefully we can both pull through this!!
