:help: I just bought this black molly, he's pretty big too. He has white spots all over him and I'm pretty sure it's ich. I took him out of my tank immediately so he didn't contaminate the tank, but how do I get rid of it so I can put him back?
How do I get rid of ich (ick)?

Raise the temp to over 80F and add some aquarium salt about 2.5 tablespoons/gal. I've heard it's best to continue for a month or two after you don't see any signs of it anymore.

where did you put the molly ? for safety sake treat the tank you had him in first and any tank you moved him too.

Treat the whole main tank. By introducing the infected fish in your main tank, you already introduced the ich and they will not appear until the fish there are stressed.
