Re: ich

The fins are usually where it is most obvious first. Are they tiny white spots?

If so, you'll need to decide whether you want to treat it, or let the fish try and fight it off himself. If you want to treat the fish, you'll need to keep it in a separate, quarantine tank.

Re: ich

Good news. Sometimes they'll get sand or crap stuck to them and it can look like ich.
