White spots on tropical fish, often resembling grains of salt, are a classic sign of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, commonly known as 'Ich' or white spot disease. This is a common and highly contagious parasitic infection. It can spread rapidly in an aquarium if not treated. Prompt action is needed to prevent it from wiping out your tank. You'll typically need to raise the water temperature (if safe for your fish species) and use an appropriate Ich medication, often combined with increased aeration. Further guidance from an aquatic vet may be needed. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
