    My one clown has a small white spot by his gill. He did have ich prior to this. I removed him and treated him with Copper in the QT tank. It doesn't look like ich he is eating and
    acting normal. No other fish have this and they are acting fine also. I gave him a FW dip with some Copper Medication in it and the spot is a little less. Should I quarantine and use a Fungus or Bacterial medication? Any help would be great,

    Thanks,

    I agree with John, Melafix is a good product and should work fine if it is fungal or bacterial. I would also suggest using it in a QT tank. Do you have any pictures to verify that it is fungal?
