Best of luck - here is the article for you.

**EDIT - P.S.**

Do not bother with Meds at this point (as they are useless when the Ich parasite is in the stage it is in on the outside of your fish. In the tank with the Moor - just stick with Salt and warmer temps - the same in the 1g, and you should be fine (will save you some money too). If you do decide to go with meds just remember to remove any carbon filtration you have in your filters, and use it in conjunction with your Salt dosages. Good luck!

The first pic was crappy and didnt look like ich to me. But i could be wrong.

The second pic shows me that you have inadequate filtration. Undergravel filters are one of the worst. Get rid of it and get a hang on the back filter, like a Whisper 20 or 30. Always go a step higher on the filtration recomendation when working with goldfish or other dirty fish.

You are over stocked also. Its 10 gallons PER baby-juvenile fancy goldfish.

I would do 30 percent waterchanges daily make sure the new water is dechlorinated and the same temp as the water the fish are in. Until you can upgrade tank size.

As for treating, i need a better picture to see what it is.

If it is ick, get a medication like aquarisol or ick guard and add aquarium salt. 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water.

For a fungus, instead of the ich medicine i would get an anti fungal medicine such as pimafix.
