Question
I bought 2 yoyo loach 2 weeks ago and are doing fine. Now I noticed the fish

is hiding at the bottom of the corner and has white spot all over it. It doesn't

look like ick because the dots are larger than that. There are other fishes

(Gouramis, catfish, tetra, danio) that are fine. The white dots are all over the

body and fins. It is stationary for a long period of time hiding in the corner.

How can I cure it?

Answer
Hi Tom,
It does sound like Ick. But just to be sure you can follow this link and see the picture of ick on a loach. This article will also tell you all about ick and the several different treatment options available. Its the best article I have found yet on ick.
