Q: The family have purchased a blackmoor fish to keep a goldfish company that my youngest son won at a fair last week.
To accommodate them we have also purchased a 15 litre bowl, pump and filter.
Both are feeding well however the small goldfish appears to be chasing the larger blackmoor around and nipping him. The poor blackmoor is having to hide and we've noticed he's started to develop tiny white spots all over him.
I've put him in a smaller bowl away from the goldfish, do you know what the white spots are? How can we help him and will the fish settle down together?
the white spots are called ick. ick is a sickness in fish. if you dont take care of it it will kill all of your fish. you can treat it by putting drops of ick medicine in the water so many times a month. you can by the medicine at walmart, petsmart, or petco.

You are exactly right. Been to an aquarium for help today. They have given me medicine for a condition known over in England as 'white spot'. The pics on the product are exactly the same as my Blackmoor. We've purchased the product and he's being treated. The guy at the aquarium said that the bacterial infection can be brought on by stress! Many thanks.
