I just noticed small white spots on my Royals fins, so far don't seen anything on his body, just the tail and dorsal fin. They seem to be really small. All the other fish seem fine, even the royal seems to be acting normal. They are so small it's hard to tell if they are "cottoney" looking? Does this sound like fin fungus? If so how should I treat it? It's in the comunity tank and I have a baby Dat in there thats doing great, and a couple pleco fry as well.
 
I think the spots are slightly raised, sounds like a fungus?. I had a Dry 10Gal and I could set that up and pull one of the filter in use on an established tank and posibly make a quarinten tank, but it would not be cycled, but the filter would have good bacteria on it. I don;t want to start loosing fish! Should I remove the Pleco and treat him or is it too late and all fish in that tank need to be treated even without showing symptoms??

another option would be to remove all my fav fish that do not show symptoms to uninfected tanks? Or would that be a bad idea as well???

In this infected tank I have these fish: (None show symptoms other than the Pleco)

Bichir
Loaches
Dat
Leaf Fish
Two Juvy Albino Bristelnose Plecos
and a few basic common fish. I don't want my Dat, Bichir, Loaches or Leaf Fish to get sick.
