Okay, have a tank with several mollies and some other fish. About 1 month ago my black balloon belly molly got whitespots all over it. I figured it was ick, so I bought some Ick Guard. After a solid week of treatment it all cleared up.

Well now I checked my tank and the same molly is getting those white spots again. Any ideas as to why the same fish keeps getting ick? I have a heater so the temperature of the tank stays the same. And i've been putting some salt in the tank as well.

Any ideas?
 
White sopt can stay in the tank for a while, and fish only get immune to after a long time.
Turn the temp up to 85f, this will help loads, then treat again, this with the high heat should clear it all up :)
 
Before you turn the heat up (not advisable, sorry Davy) read this article on ick and follow what it says. Rose 8)
