White Spot?

[kramers]

Ok, I just noticed some whitish looking spots about the size of a pea on the side of my gold angel. The spots themselves look like the scales are dulled out and not "cottonish" for lack of better words. I started a treatment of melafix and pimafix just in case. Am I overreacting or is this whitespot or just dulled scales?

you won't get whitespot the size of a pea i don't think.

it's normally very small spots.

could be something else though but i'm not sure, does the fish have any other syptoms i.e. darting off rocks etc.

Whitespot will normally look like the fish has been "salt sprayed" for want of a better phrase... Lots of smallish raised white spots on the fishes body. Its normally noticable on the fins of the fish first, then it spreads rapidly.

A white spot the size of a pea... cant say for sure without a picture, but it definitely doesnt sound like a case of whitespot at that size.
