White spots on your fish often indicate a common parasitic infection called Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), or 'white spot disease.' This parasite can spread rapidly and be fatal if left untreated. It typically appears as small, salt-like dots on the fins and body. To treat it, you'll generally need to raise the water temperature gradually (if appropriate for your fish species), add aquarium salt, and use an over-the-counter Ich medication following the product's instructions carefully. Ensure good water quality and reduce stress on your fish. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
