That's ich alright. Did you recently add fish to this tank?

Raise the temp slowly to 86 F

Add an airstone to increase oxygenation

Gravel vac every 2-3 days to remove ich spore from substrate

Do this for a minimum of 2 weeks and for at least 1 week after you see the last spot on your fish

 

[Coloradokid13]

No the tetras have been in there like 2 weeks but I did add a platy but he seems fine and I already have an airstone

 

[LyndaB]

The platy most likely introduced ich to your tank. Do you quarantine new fish?

 

[Coloradokid13]

No I just don't have enough room for one and don't know what to do for a quarantine tank

I don't I guess I was up to early with that Platy I added two male guppies but both died at the same time and were from the same lfs tank

One of my tetras didn't make it

 

[LyndaB]

I'm very sorry. Are you taking the steps we discussed above?

 

[Coloradokid13]

Ya the temp at 85, have an airstone, vacuum gravel yesterday lost 2 more tetras

 

[LyndaB]

Do they have any other symptoms other than what looks like salt sprinkled on them? Any fungus or fin rot?

No just the white spots rather than that the look the same
