I know that salt containing iodine is not safe to use, but what about iodide? They're two side to the same coin, but is one safer than the other?

On that note, do you have pictures or another thread that we can help out with? Often times, what looks like Velvet, is only iridescence and isn't actually the parasite.

I'm positive that it's velvet. I've never seen the yellow rust on him ever before, and it explains why he looks so 'dusty' recently. It's not like any iridescence I've seen, and looks like grains almost.

Here's my post on trying to figure out why his fins were clamped:

As I went to take a photo of him, I discovered that he unfortunately passed away while I was at the petstore. ._.

His body doesn't appear to have the dust anymore. I expect his aquarium + other items are to be thrown away? Unless they can be sterilized somehow?

*The pet store didn't have anything in stock, but I did get aquarium salt. I was planning on going out of town tomorrow to get some at another pet store.
