[stu-ton]

One of my fish seems unwell, he has few white spots which i cant remeber seeing!
He dont move as much as i have seen him!

Last i checked my PH was 6.8( whichi know is a bit lo)
N02 was 0 and no3 was .25

could be white spot which is a parasite..have you added any new fish recently?
any other fish and do any others have this?
where are the spots and do they look like grains of salt?
need more info on tank set up, size, which filter, how many fish.

my tank is 4ft h15 inch w12inch, i have 5, a small fantail, a 2 inch shubumkin, a 2 inch canary yellow, 1 inch goldfish and my sick one 2inch comet style. filter are fluval4+ and fluval2+. no other have it that i can see! not added any fish for 4 weeks or more
I thought it was white spot. Will i put him in another tank with a treatment? Should i do a 50% water change on the tank?

You should treat the whole tank if it is whitespot, since it can take a few weeks after being infected by the parasite for external symptoms to show, so other fish in the tank could have the whitespot already so treating the whole tank is the best plan of action . Here's an article on how to treat whitespot;

Can you describe the size of the white spots (sand grain size, dust size, or larger etc)?
