Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

White spots on a goldfish, often resembling grains of salt, are classic signs of Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), a common parasitic infection. It’s highly contagious and can be fatal if untreated. Prompt action is crucial. Increase the water temperature slightly if appropriate for your species, and consider an over-the-counter Ich treatment. Ensure good water quality. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance for proper diagnosis and treatment options to prevent spread.
