I have a 29 gallon high tank with a handful of Guaramis, Clown Loaches, Hatchets, etc.

I had a Ich break out and was able to control it wiht medication, and only had two casualties (Neons don't react well to Ich medicine.)

My Pictus Cat seems to be cured of the Ich, almost immediately, but now has one red blotch on each of his fins. Also, his very long whiskers have fallen off leaving only little 1/2 inch nubs.

What is happening to the poor guy? What do I do to help him.
