One of the koi in my pond has developed some white disks that are sort of clear looking. Some are the size of a dime. Would this be ich? I did several slide scrapes of the fish and looked under a microscope and didn’t find anything. Here is a video of the fish but for some reason the quality of the video is not great when uploaded to TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/iHlpWFwH5Bw/w-d-xo.html. The white spots are on the middle of the forehead and also on the side gill area. There are also some scales that have the white/clear appearance as well. The fish also has some growths on one of its front fins. It has been more sluggish lately and not quite as social with the other koi and none of the other fish seem to have the issue. Any thoughts?
I think the koi here are irritated by the audio speed on this video. It makes me want to scratch my eyes out with a potato peeler. Other than that though, it's actually very good. You forgot an important step though....Forget where you put the cover-slip and waste valuable time with your head sideways on the floor trying to find it.
Hahaha critical that step. Not for beginners this one but for us experts, you could try snapping the cover slip, so that a small amount wedges under your fingernail. Or my personal favourite, sending the x100 objective right into the slide and never being able to see through it again.

We know what a leech is. Thank you. No microscope required.
Awesome video very informative, thank you.
"make sure your hands are wet " as if you could pick a fish out of a bucket of water with dry hands ,........hehehe!
