Ok so thats probably why the other one is spotless now. What should I treat them with? What if its not ich? Would just adding Acuarium salt and a heater work? (sorry I have alot of questions I'm new at this kind of fish)

It's ok to have questions, as treating fish for illness can be difficult at times. Using aquarium salt or epsom salt and slowly raising the temperature is a method that would work (as mentioned in the article). What other tankmates do you have in there? |

I used Brian's website on ich as well to help my earliest betta Ralph get better. The salt and temperature treatment worked wonders.... until he got dropsy and died....but that's not the point  |

I also used the heat + salt on my Platy. Much easier than medicating.
