Hi. I brought 10 neon tetras to add to my 110l tank on Saturday.
I noticed yesterday that i have two with a very small faint white spot on their tails. Both have just one spot each.

I cant get a clear enough pic of it as they are too quick to get a clear picture.
Do you think this could be ick?

If so whats the safest way to treat i?

Ive read up on something about raising the temperature to 28°c (my temp is currently 24°c) gradually for a few days. I like the idea of this because im abit worried about adding medicines because ive heard it could make my peppered corys react.

Has anyone ever treated ick this way?

I have 4 peppered cordoras, 3 guppies and 3 plattys.

Could you take a video?
Put the sick fish in a small glass jar and then take a picture?
I think a lot of people think they have "ICK" when in fact its fungus (water mould)growing on a wounded tail fin or body part.
