My fish has little
white spots on it that look like salt grains, what is
this? What do I need to do? |

This is a parasite

will need to treat your aquarium with medication designed
for Ick. Stop in to any of our stores and we can guide
you to the many medications that are made for this purpose.
Also see Ick under Care Sheets. |
