My Black Moor has white spots all over it, HELP2007-11-24 23:38:13

He is a very large Black Moor and has white spots all over him. It looks like salt crystals or even air bubbles. I have 2 more Black Moors but they don't have the same problem. I have a 55gal. tank with about 15 other small fish besides the 3 Black Moors. What can I do to help this problem?

Answers:

Goldfish are known for catching ick. it sounds like what your problem is. if you have a ten gallon tank, take your infected fish and put them in and treat them for three to five days. do not treat in your 55 gallon tank. the cause of ick is a dirty tank and over feeding them. do not follow feeding instructions on your food container. they tell you to feed your fish three times a day. that is too much. these companies want you to buy more. only feed them twice a day. just enough food that they will eat within five minutes. clean your tank well with a python suction hose every two weeks. it will cure your ick. do not BUY FISH FROM WALMART!

It sounds like Ick. You will probably have to treat the whole tank. Pick up anti-ick meds at the pet store.

hey ChrisJ i have a 55 gallon tank too, with 13 goldfish - 7 blackmoors and 6 fancy goldfish.

i use a medication called aquarisol. it gets rid of the salt like crystals. those salt like crystals are called "ick".

i hope this helps

Yep. Ich. There's a medicine that comes in a blue bottle that works pretty well. Can't remember the name though but it works.
