There are these tiny white spots on like all of my fishes. It is like on their fins and stuff.

Isn't this like ICH or something, and what can i get to fix them??

It could be a number of things. What size are the spots. Are they like cotton wool, sugar? Can you post a pic?

Also, whats your water stats?

Ammonia?
Nitrite?
PH?
Temp?

Also, what fish do you have and what size of tank?

If itd s disease, sometimes aquarium salt helps.

Can you be more specific? What species of fish do you have?

What were this mornings test results?

I wouldn't advise using aquarium salt, at least until we establish what fish you have and what the problem is.

That is why I said, if it is a disease.

It sounds like an ICH problem.

How long have you had the tank setup, and have you added anything new recently?

...fish can get ich from plants? I didn't know plants would harbor that. I guess it makes sense, I just had no idea.

im pretty sure it can bring over cysts that have attached to plants....

 

[WILDER]

Yes plants can have whitespot.
Good luck.

Probably so, but I'd assumed it was to get rid of snails. I am such a newbie.
