Ich

[James From Cali]

I think my 1 Goldfish has Ich. It has 5 white spots on his side. Japan, Goldfish, is the only one that has it. Iris, Moor, thankfully doesnt have it. I need to check my parameters today. Thanks. Oh its a 10g, and yes I know its overstocked but they are really small right now and so I am going to be upgrading ASAP. Thanks for any suggestions on how to cure it.

I think the over crowded-ness caused it to get ich.
I found a few good sites reading the sticky at the top of the page.

Yeah. Good thing at the time they are small.

In the first link, the picture of ich looks nothing like what my fish has, my fish has more of pimple like white spots. Or is that like a beginning stage? I am going to go buy some Ich medicine from petsmart ASAP with my $6 dollars I was saving up. But how long should I treat it for?

You really need to read the first article that Gerald linked. It has all the information for you
