White Spot
White
spot disease is a disease that most fish caregivers will have to face
at some point. The white spot disease is a protozoan parasite, making it
extremely contagious and when left untreated deadly. The symptoms that
appear on tropical fish are sugar grain like spots all over the fish's
body and fins; also, the fish may also rub along the bottom of the fish
tank frequently. Treatment is available for a rather cheap price tag,
but the whole aquarium must be treated, not just one fish.
