Help ich??

[Morgaaan]

I think some of my fish have ich??? I really hope not, could anyone tell me if they do? If so I think it's In the beginning stages....

Does the fish look like it's sprinkled in salt? They can also scratch and flick on ornaments, plants etc.

Umm, I haven't noticed any of that yet, but they do have white spots, not a lot yet. I bought some ich medicine before work, would it be okay to use it just to be safe, I moved the two fish that looked the worst to another tank..

I'm not sure if it is ich but if it is then I'd say treat the whole tank since they have all been exposed to it otherwise you could end up clearing the two for them to catch it again when you put them back in the main tank

Raise the tank temps to 82f.. Im having the same problem.. sadly it takes a week supposedly for the ich to die off or not be able to reproduce at those temps.. I put my tank to 86f... make sure your bubbles are set to high blast to keep oxygen up in the water
