Some things to be included in your original post/question;
1. State the problem as you see it and provide details.
2. List symptoms...white spots, not eating, labored breathing, etc.
3. How long the fish has been exhibiting these symptoms.
4. What is in the tank; other fish, live rock, corals, inverts.
5. State the tank size, and how long the tank has been up and running.
5. Diet; what are you feeding the fish, and do you use any supplements like selcon, zoe, zoecon or garlic.
6. How long have you had the particular fish and have there been any new additions.
7. Was the fish quarantined prior to placing it in your main tank, and do you have a quarantine tank that you can use? EVERYONE SHOULD!!!)
8. Have you tried any treatments thus far before posting here. And, if so, describe what you have done.
9. Water parameters!!! ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, temperature and salinity. These are very important to know. Please don't say "my water quality is good". Give real numbers. It could be the key to solving the problem.
