Ick?

[Amphitrite]

One of my fish has tiny white spots (not alot, just in a couple places) on her tail and skin. Her top fin at the front is kind of torn too. Is this Ick? and if it is, is it contagious to my other fish? If I take her out right now and move her to another tank, are my other fish still at risk?

If the whitespots look like grains of salt yes you have whitespot.

So it's in my tank. It wouldn't matter if I took her out because my other fish are going to get it too?

Yes you will have to medicate the whole tank, good luck.

Ok thanks.

You can pick up "Ick Clear" from your LFS. These are tablets that wil turn your tank blue and will not harm any other fish or plants. Its amost like an alka seltzer tablet that fizzles.

Works great did me just fine.

Ick Clear? Do I just put it in the tank and leave it?
