I am 100% sure it was "ick." I'm not sure if it was Cryptocaryon or Oodinium. You ain't talkin' to a newbie here; I've been in this hobby for over 28 years and I know the difference between sand, bubbles, and ick.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I "killed" it or not; I guess time and continued study will determine that. I'm fully aware of the cycle that the ick goes through. All I know is one feeding, no more white dots on any of the fish. I'm gonna keep supplementing the ginger for at least another couple of weeks and see what happens. Although I'm tempted to NOT feed them anymore ginger to see if the ick returns.

I'm just very excited that this appears to have worked and wanted to share the news and my joy with everyone! I will keep you posted.
