My fish have white spots on them. What is it and how do I treat it?

[]

Answer

White spots (often resembling grains of salt) on your fish are typically a sign of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, commonly known as 'Ich' or white spot disease. It's a highly contagious parasitic infection. This requires immediate treatment. You'll need to quarantine affected fish, raise the aquarium temperature slightly (if appropriate for your fish species), and use an anti-parasitic medication specifically designed for Ich, following the product instructions carefully. Maintain excellent water quality. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance if you're unsure about treatment options.
