My guppy suddenly has white spots all over its body. What could it be?

[]

Answer

White spots on a fish, especially guppies, commonly indicate a parasitic infection called Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), which is highly contagious. It usually presents as small, salt-like white spots and can be fatal if not treated. Isolate affected fish if possible, raise the aquarium temperature slowly (if suitable for your fish), and use an appropriate anti-Ich medication as directed by a pet store professional or aquatic vet. Ensure good water quality. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance if your treatment isn't working.
