checking everyone out cause I had been on holiday and I saw something
that disturbed me.

I have a bunch (ton) of mosquito fish (bad purchase) and a number of
them have white spots all over. None seem to be hurting, no reaction,
but I am worried something is about to go south in the pond. the big
Gold Fish and Koi are looking very, very healthy but I am worried
something is going down.

Anyone have any advice, and if needed a cure?

First off, have you taken any measurements of the water parameters? With
the volume of rain received all over CA (and man it's been a bear hasn't
it?) this could have wildly changed the pH, KH, GH, etc in your pond. This
would stress the fish which would leave them vulnerable to disease. As for
those theorizing ich, ich does not come out of nowhere, so if it really is
ich, you've probably had the parasites present in the pond (ich can
survive at low levels in the gills of otherwise healthy appearing fish
according to what I've read) unless these mosquito fish were added
recently. The potentially wild changes in water parameters from all the
rain could have stressed the fish causing such a latent infection to
explode into fishy epidemic proportions.

Which brings us to the "what to do" point. Well, first off one needs to
positively identify what is going on. Pictures would certainly help in
that regards as written word is by nature somewhat nebulous and
subjective. For example, your concept of "spot" might be completely
different than mine. Let's focus on ich since others have suggested in. In
ich, the spots are about the size of a grain of salt and randomly
distributed over the body of the fish. The fish might also show other
signs such as flashing and rubbing or clamped fins. Fungal issues will
have much larger spots, usually with a cottony appearance. Velvet
infection will be much finer spots (sugar sized or smaller) and tend to be
most noticed on the head, as well as clustered together in groups/patches.
Velvet can also have a bit of a yellowish look to it under certain light.
Bacterial and/or slime coat problems can also present as large spots of
white/opaque color randomly over the body. These will often have a more
slimey appearance when compared to the cottony look of fungal infections.

Once the problem is identified, then you need to determine whether
medication is necessary or if it will just be sufficient to remedy any
water problems caused by the rain. This is often a personal call. I
personally tend to go for clean water and/or medicated food along with a
wait and see approach, but others prefer putting the affected fish in a
holding tank and medicating the water there.

Thanks to those that offered advice. Didn't really want to get into a
flame war.... just wanted the advice.

That said, to those of you who would like a picture I would be happy to
comply if I could just get them to stop swimming ;-) You guys do ask
for a lot. I will try to get a picture up to confirm.

I put in some Melafix and some kanacyn soaked food immediately.

There has been no new fish.... just this crazy rain (crazy for us, a
light sprinkle for the rest of the world).

Glad to continue taking advice...

========================
Please don't use antibiotics unless you know they are needed. Their
overuse had created many bacteria that are now resistant and more become
resistant daily. May I suggest you cut back the number of fish in this
overcrowded pond and then do a large water change? The rain may have
drastically changed the PH from what they are used to,... from your hose.
Overcrowding is a disaster just waiting to happen, rain or no rain.

Read my post again. I said it sounds like. And then I suggested some
products that may provide diagnosis information on the bottles.

And by all means, please do killfile me. I am quite happy with that

Sounds like ick to me too. And if it is, and he has an overstocked pond, he is
going to have a lot of fun treating it. If he can isolate them and treat them
out of the pond that would be best. Ick will die if they don't have a host to
live off of, so the pond will clear itself of the parasites after a couple of
weeks if there are no fish in it to complete the life cycle. Having said that,
few ponders have the facilities to remove all of their fish at once and treat
them separately, so he is going to have to treat the entire pond. Fortunately,
the remedies for ick are well known, and relatively inexpensive. It also helps
to increase the water temperature, but that is not easy to do in a pond, so the
chemical treatment will likley have tobe done for longer than woul be necessary
if the temperature was raised. One product I know of that is effective in ponds
(and that works well without having to raise the water temperature) is ickguard.
Ick Guard quickly and effectively clears ick (white spot) without raising the
temperature of the water. It also guards against secondary infections as a
result of wounds left by the ick parasite. A 17 oz bottle treats 960 gallons of
water and costs about $9.00. The instructions say to use 1 tsp per 10 gallons.
1 cup treats 480 gallons. After 24 hours change 25% of the water and dosage may
be repeated. Do not overdose. Clean measuring device before each use. Use 1/2
strength on weak, small or scaleless fish. This product will color the water.

Thanks to all for the answers. Taking a fish to the fish store for a
