Spots On Oscars

Question
Hi,
   A week ago my water turtles got white spots all over their bodies and three days back they were found dead. They were living with my oscars but i seperated them from oscars after i saw the infection. But now one of my oscars is also having same white fungus like spots. What should i do now? Please help me....

Answer
Hi Soorajsm,
 The disease is called ick and there are commercial remedies available, but you need to act very fast and start treatment right away.  I use a product called Rid-Ich, but there are others, e.g., Quik-Cure, etc.
