My betta has white spots all over its fins. I removed her from the tank but how do I stop the disease from spreading? What can I do to save the betta? I espcially don't want the pleco to get this disease so I need to know how to stop it ASAP!

Did you do a search in the disease forum about how to treat ick? Generally it doesn't help to remove an effected fish because the main tank will need to be treated also. You should pick up an ick medication and use that (follow the directions on the package explicitly)....OR raise the temperature of the tank up over 84-86 and add some salt to the water (dont remember how much) to treat with the salt & heat method.
