Ich or Parasite On My Fish
My fish have this white large round white dots on them. Not all of them
just some. If I rub them they fall off. They also rub againt the items in the pond. I dont think its ich cause there large. Some have 1 some have about 5-6. The 1 pacu now has 2 on its top fin. Is it a parasite? They are white roundish and can also get thicker. Is there a all perpose medication for this case? The pet store has them on one of the fish I bought from them and they dont even know or wont tell me. Now what? |

It sounds like a parasite but it's hard to tell which one by your description. Check out www.koivet.com . -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder...

They are white and the size of a large pin head. About 1/16 of a inch or
a little larger. Round in size. Thank you |

Thank you =========================== They certainly sound like some kind of parasite. Now you need to find out how to eradicate them from your pond or quarantine tank. I hope someone with more knowledge of parasites can help you. When I buy new fish I always quarantine them for at least 21 days. I learned the hard way how difficult and expensive treating fish in a pond can be. Not to mention the fact new fish can infest healthy ones you already own. Good luck..... -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." :-) ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |

Good luck. #How about dumping a bottle of clorax in the pond? that will kill all parasite. McKoi.... the frugal ponder...
