You need to go get the White spot treatment from your local fish store and follow directions of use on the back of the bottle.

is there a treatment out there that does not require nasty bottle remedys ?

Coldwater or tropical?

Either way I'd do a 75% water change today and then do smaller ones everyday after that. If you have tropical turning the temp up usually works 2

If you use a bottle solution- interpret has never steered me wrong.

I have tetras so mine is usually 26c and i turned it up to 30c. You should be okay to just turn it up as it will take time for the water to heat us so the fish will climatise to it

The only other thing i'd say is take the water out with a gravel cleaner/syphon and when you add the new water in add it slowly. My grandad breeds alot of tropical fish including chichlids and he's used the same method.
