My goldfish has white spots on its wen and tail. Is it Ich?

Question

Yesterday, while cleaning it’s tank, I noticed she had 1 white dot on its wen and black on her tail. Today I noticed another 1 white dot. So now she has 2 white dots on her wen and black on her tail. She’s acting perfectly normal, eating normal and all. What do I do? I got her from petsmart on 1/12/19.

Thanks for reaching out about Peaches and including photos. One concern would be a parasitic infestation, such as Ich. Contacting Petsmart to see what their recommendations are, would be a first start. A veterinary visit should be scheduled, a skin scrape to identify the parasite and recommend a treatment. If it is Ich, this requires a prolonged treatment over several weeks. Good luck.
