My fighter fish has little white spots from head to tail can eny one give me advice on how to get rid of it iv looked up and it says to rease your tank temp to 90f and add salt is this best

Just raise the temp up to 87 and leave it a week after the last ich spot is seen. Increase aeration.

Increasing aeration is that turning up the air filter to let more oxigen in to tank

Yep, you can do that. Anything that will put more air into the water because warmer water has oxygen for the fish

I only can see 1 spot on the fighters back now do you think if i leave the temp at 90 till end of week things should be ok

I'd do a little lower. Like 88. It all depends in the situation. It will probaly be 2 weeks.

It just needs to be ~87f. I would do it for at least 10 days after the last white spot is no longer visible.

Understanding and Treating Ich or White Spot

 

[idel01]

All spots have gone now had it at 90 since last sat no fish have died apart from 1 of my plea have died

 

[George9]

Cool! I'd leave it up a few more days (at least til sat.) and you should be good
