My guppy fish look like they have white spots. Is it Ich?

[]

Answer

White spots on fish scales, often resembling grains of salt, are classic signs of Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), a common and highly contagious parasitic disease. It's crucial to act quickly to prevent it from spreading throughout your tank. Treatment typically involves raising the water temperature gradually, adding aquarium salt, and using specific anti-parasitic medications. It's also important to thoroughly clean the tank and remove activated carbon during treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
