GREEN TERROR WHITE SPOTS

[dempsy12]

my green terror has seemed to develop white spots on his facial area and going all the way back to his dorsal fin. i was wondering what it was and if it is a disease if it is cureable..(inexpensively) and also if it will affect the other fish in the tank. let me know any advice is helpful thanks

btw he has not been himself lately just laying down inside his terracotta clay pot mostly. the spots are small almost like super small air bubble sized.

thanks

It's an external parasite called ich. Yes, it will spread to other fish, all fish in the tank should be treated. Cheapest way to treat it is to crank the heater to 86 and add salt (although I dont like how you implied that you wouldn't spend money on a proper treatment if that wasn't the case, don't get fish if you can't afford to care for them...).
