That's interesting. These white tufts seem fungal to me. While he sometimes had a few "ich marks", he didn't generally show much sign of ich. Nothing like the achilles anyway.

Water change won't do much.

To the others that suggested I catch/medicate. Yes, that would be nice...not much hope in catching him at this point though. If he takes a turn for the worse and looses a step or two, I might be able to get him. Of course, by then it is usually too late.
