Anyone got any ideas on a possible misidentification of whitespot here
- it's certainly confusing me - sorry for the long background, but
it's needed.

Background

On one of my tanks (120 litre) which is relatively peaceful my bronze
cory developed a distinct white spot just above an eye two weeks ago,

.....there is a "whitespot" headed post just a little down the list here.
Just in case you cant see it D&M posted a link in response that points to
some information that identifies that some types of freshwater fish develop
these white spots during breeding season, not too sure if this applies to
your cory but it is definetely worth taking a look at (the information on
breeding season is located at the bottom of the page under "NOTE".

While on the topic here, I have recentaly purchased another clown loach that
has developed a white bump close to his tail. Over the past couple days and
am currently having my first experience treating possible ich, Im not
positive that it is Ich;however, from what I understand with loaches
(clown's in particular) it is best to be pro-active in the treatment if Ich
is a possibility, here's my question: is it advisable to treat loaches with
Rid*Ich+ at recommended dose? I have been advised, by a trusted LFS, that
this product can be used at the recommended dose (for all scaleless fish)
but has anyone here had any experience with this product+full dose+lost
loaches? Cheers,-Brian
