fish disease???

[saixiong08]

woke up today to find my fishes have these small white spots/marks on them. Is this a disease and what can i do to cure it....

 

[cpayne015]

yes it is probably ich

if u have a quarantine all fish will need to go in there

 

[cpayne015]

kick-ich is what i have used in past as it is coral and invertabrae friendly

 

[saixiong08]

will i have to do water changes???

Kick ich does not work, if your fish got better it's because they built an immunity.

Yeah, you should do water changes anyway though. Better water quality = less stress and less parasitic infection likelihood

If the product says it's reef safe and you can treat the display without issue then it's probably not the best choice.

There are tons, and I mean tons of threads and stickies on the subject of marine ich. Do your research and decide how aggressively you want or need to treat.

A pic of the afflicted fish might help us pin down exactly which disease you are dealing with. While ich is the most common, there are other diseases which present with white spots.
