Ich visible on wood ?
There is a piece of dark bogwood in a community tank, to satisfy the needs of a
bristlenose pleco. I submerged the wood in boiling water for 15 minutes before putting it in the tank, about a month ago. This wood appears to have tiny white spots on it. They go away if I rub the wood with a finger. Nothing else in the aquarium has spots like these. I am wondering if it is possible that I am looking at Ich ? Then again they could be bubbles. They are consistent in size, about like small grains of salt. |

If the bogwood is not petrified the living wood will rot underwater and grow a white fungus. This does not harm the fish and can usually be brushed off. " Sounds like what you have? -Jen |
