You need to get your water tested.
Take a sample of your water to the lfs and ask them to write the readings down for you.

Are teh white spots the size of a grain of salt.
Can you describe the red things on the fins in more detail please.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.

It just looks like a red dot on the fins. ;

I have a test kit here at my house; only yesterday I was a bit busy. I'll test today.

Also, I noticed her poo looks white....? Sorta stringy. Any help on that?

that does help

its obvious its a parasite..

im not a expert at this stuff so i'll leave the rest to every-one else

 

[Amberleaf]

Okay.... But, I dunno how to treat parasites!

 

[WILDER]

If the fish are flicking with the white spots you need to treat for whitespot.

Red spots can be parasites to septicemia.

Try some shelled peas to see if that clears the long stringy white poo up.
