What does Ick look like? My new fish has a tiny white spot on it? How do I get rid of it if it is Ick? Where does it come  from?

It's Ich, not Ick.

 

Marine Ich isn't the same as freshwater Ick.

Marine Ich has been the bane of aquarists for a hundred years. There are really only three treatments for it that are the most effective. You'll find out how to diagnose and treat it in one or more of the threads that I have listed.

Quarantine everything and put ich worries to bed.
