i have a 100 gallon tank with cichlid fish and some of the fish have white spots on their tails can you tell me what they are we are currently treating them with ick attack please help

Answer
Hi Ray,
 Are you referring to the large white dots on the anal fin (the fin on the bottom rear) or the whitish color on the actual tail fin?   It might be better to send a higher resolution picture to me at the address below and I can take a look.
