Here's a video of the first one I found (near his gill): http://youtu.be/mz64HICeS24
And him twitching: http://youtu.be/poCHKv7-hnM
I have since found it on another cory, however the spot in the above video is the biggest of the spots I have observed- the others look like salt sprinkles. It's looking like Ich, but I'm worried about the fact that it seems to be more located around their gills and not "sprinkled" over their bodies the way Ich is generally said to begin.
Can any Ich experts ID it based on my videos and observations?
(I have raised temp gradually to 83 with airstone running 24 hours/day, and preemptively began Maracide half-doses on day 1 and day 3 when I noticed it just on the one cory, I have since noticed it on the second cory and I do understand that it gets worse before it gets better. I did a 50% water change and heavy gravel vacuum before the second half dose)
