My mom has a tank and it has white sand. Well about 2 days ago 1 of her platies which is still a juvie got sucked on the filter. Now she wanted to test a new filter so we put it on the front of the tank and the new stronger current pushed the fish on the intake. Its back fin is in a arrow shape now and he dosent look to good. Well now i see white dots on it (so i am thinking GREAT ICH) but her tank has fine white sand and we sturred it up today and i cant tell if it is ich or sand. I noticed the female guppy she has has got white on it too but it is very little and i think that since i noticed it on the fry i might be looking too far into it. Now the tank does not have a good enough filter as we got it from a friend for free and we havent replaced the filter yet.
So my question is how do i tell if it is ich or sand? And there is a dojo loach in the tank (coldwater fish) and how should i go about curing it if it is as the dojo loach is a coldwater fish? Can the dojo loach stand the 80-82 degrees in the water? Or am i depending completely in meds here?
