![]() I didn't assume anything. I posted that link from a reputable magazine rather than just blurting off my mouth saying mandarins can't get ich. Now with the article it just might get some people to do a little more research. But go ahead and turn this in to yet another debate if you so choose. Peace out. I'm outta here for a while. Time for a long canreef break.

![]() I have seen Mandarin's with ick.
Mandarins have scaleless skin and rely on a mucous layer to protect themselves. But, when they are caught with a fish net and rolled around in the net the mucous layer gets scraped off. Then they have no protection left. Once you use the net on a Mandarin you need to rinse it thoroughly as the mucous is toxic to other fish.

![]() I am almost positive it was ick, spots disappeared and came back ect. This started at least 3 weeks ago. I would assume velvet would kill much quicker from what I have read. I could have possibly misidentified it lol but either way all fish are in qt now being treated.
