Hey guys just found some white spot on 1 of my cardinal tetras, so far that's the one fish that has it. Before it spreads what's the best way to get rid of it?

Crank the tank temperature up to 86 degrees increasing it by 1 - 2 degrees every hour or so. Keep it at that temperature for a week after the last spot goes away. It's a proven method of combatting ich that is much safer than medication.

+ 1 on this !!! Also some WC's are needed to help clean out the tank.

Also, increasing aeration is important because warmer water holds less oxygen.
