 white pimple looking dots on both new clowns Crap!!! What should I do? They are the only fish I have. I acclimated them properly. All my levels check out ok. Temps Ok. I havn't been home all day and when I get home I notice white dots all over my fish. They look like they both have acne. They are swimming allright and other then the spots everything seems fine. What do I need to do? Last edited by passinetti2007; 03-02-2007 at 09:31 PM.  |

| If your fish have ich, the product I have used for years is a Kent product called "Poly-Ox". It is a organic material oxidizer and it has worked great for me. I have pacific blue tang that is susceptible to Ich and every time it has cleared it right up on her. |

| I actually agree. I have only used it maybe half a dozen times in five years. Only if the outbreak is bad. Small cases I don't worry about. |

| Could have just been stress. From what my LFS guy told me all fish carry ick inside them and it comes out during stressful times. You guys let me know if that is true. |
