Sick Fish?

[hoppybunn]

Three of my silver dollars seem to have white stuff on their fins, it's hard to say what it is, as it doesn't look like ich, but the biggest silver dollar has a few tiny spots on it's body. The white stuff is mostly closer towasrds the body on the fins, and ends with a few white dots. I've had a fish before that went through cycles of ich, but the spots were much bigger? (It was in a totally different tank, with his own filter, never had contact with other fish). The fish seem to be swimming and breathing fine, and tank conditions are normal (0 ammonia, nitrite and nitrate). I did however go on vacation for a week or so, and one of my fish in my other tank died, I think due to high ammonia (I wasn't able to perform a water change in time as someone else was taking care of my tank and feeding my fish). Actually right now my biggest silver dollar is breathing a little fast. Any suggestions?

You have whitespot then and need to start treating, turn temp up to 30, and increase aeration as the high temp and med will reduce 02 in the water.
