    It sounds like ick to me as well. Not much of an outbreak though. A little PLAIN salt in the water will help. Make sure its non-iodized and has no prussate ingredients. The parasites are vulnerable to medications and salt only after they drop off the fish so don't expect to see the spots go away immediately.

    Thanks for your replies... I spoke to one of the guys at the pet store and believe it to be mild ick or a small case of fin/tail rot (he didn't see the fish and the white specks are on the fins only.) He recommended I due daily water changes and add some salt. So, I will try this and if it's not working I suppose I'll get some medicine. Thank you again for all your help!
