Flower Horn with white small spot (dots) all over its body?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sounds like ICH, A very common parasite usually introduced by a new fish, plants feeders-anything that was in a ICH infested tank that is now in your tank.
Sounds like the fish has it pretty bad. I think there is a sticky on this page that may help
Good Luck

white spots all over the body???

The cause of this condition is Ichthyophithirius multifilis (ICH ) , a ciliated protozoan .

The parasites resides under the skin of the fish, hence it is not affected by water treatment or direct treatment applied to the fish . Break the breeding cycle of Ich by washing the tank thoroughly to remove the cysts of the parasite. Keep in mind that this is a highly contagious condition, so your entire aquarium must be treated.


GOODLUCK!!!
