please help, ICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yesterday i was checking up on my fish when i saw one neon tetra with a single white dot on him. i thought it was a missing scale
i continued to check up on things when i saw one of my oto with white dots all over him.
so i bumped my temp from 26 to 29.
all other fish have no white spots
then i started to wonder, is it really ick since only one fish is really infected.
so i have no idea how to tell if it is really ick.
and if it is should i buy treatment (i don't want to because i heard it treats ick but makes a lot more problems)
also my water quality is very good.
anything else i should do.
i will post a pic asap

Not a useful pic at all.
These white dots... Does it look like salt was shaken on the fish? If so, It's Ich.
