my clown loach has very small white spots on him. I have seen ich, and from what i have seen is they are fairly big white specks. My fish's arent large, in fact i could barely see them. What could this be?
 
Sounds like ich to me... don't wait any longer to treat him. Loaches are notorious for getting ich and in my experience, once it gets to the point of spots, even small ones, it's often too late.

coolkid, it sounds like ick to me. I was wondering what was up with my Black Mollies--they looked like someone sprinkled salt or sugar on their backs and tails. The white spots are quite tiny, but from what I've read here they will get bigger if left untreated. I just started treatment today.

I'd start doing something about it right away. Check out the other posts in this area--people have had great advice on how to treat and prevent ick.

Good luck.
