ICH - My Neon tetras

[Chelsea_88]

I am usually on the tortoise pages on here but now i have a tropical fish tank i need help....
I got it all setup and added 4 neon tetras on Tuesday, yesterday ive noticed white spots on them possibly ICH? They are all still eating and arent rubbing themselves on the items in the tank.
I have started raising the temp in the tank slowly but i need help when do i do a water change? what is the best medication or salt? Can they die from it?

P.S no critism as i said i am totally new to this.

most commercially available medications work well on white spot , just get hold of some and follow the instructions.

Cant remember which one it is, but ESHA have some good medications, but also look at Melafix (a good one for the cabinet) and Pimafix aswell

Keep an eye on the fish, and when the spots start to decline, which they should with the increase in temp, then do a water change, as the nasties will have dropped off into the substrate, which is when you want to start sucking it out, so to speak

Salt can help, as mentioned there are loads of treatments available.
Along with adding stuff make sure your water perameters are good, bad parameters i.e high ammonia e.t.c can stress the fish and make them more likely to get white spot.
When you do a water change make sure you vac the gravel throughly.
