Answer #1

when I was little I had an aquarium with many goldfish. my goldfish also began to have spots so I went to the local pet store (petco, petsmart, ect.) and got some ich meds. ich is a fish disease that isnt deadly but does need to b treated soon because the fish can get a deadly disease from the lower imune system levels as it trys to fight off the ich. ich is basicly just an infection so no need to freak out. ~hope this helps!!!
