Ich is one of the more common afflictions of goldfish. The body and/or fins are covered with tiny white dots. The goldfish will look as if someone sprinled salt on it. Left untreated, it can be fatal to your goldfish, and because treatment takes many days to work, every moment counts. Ich is highly contageous.
The condition is easy to spot. The white dots are small and sometimes numerous, about a millimeter each. They are easiest to see on the goldfish's transparent fins. When on the goldfish, medications have no affect on Ich. As the parasite grows, however, it will eventually drop off the goldfish to reproduce. At the bottom of the tank, it will form a cyst (also resistant to medications) and soon hatch into hundreds of baby parasites which will seek a new host goldfish. This process weakens the goldfish and leaves holes in the goldfish's body. A badly afflicted goldfish will likely display rapid gill movements.
To treat this Goldfish condition we recommend; Paracide Green or Easy Treat Ich
