Is this ich?

[Varidity]

Hey guys!

I was over at my mums today and was looking at her angels when I noticed what looks like white spots on one of their fins (it's only on one of the angels and there is 4 in there). She has had these less then a week, they all came from the same store, and has bad eye sight so even when I pointed it out she couldn't really see what I was referring too.

Also if this is ick/ich, how do I go about treating it please.

Looks like ich to me. Do you live in a country where you can get fish medications? (Sound weird but in Canada you need a vet to write a prescription)
If not aquarium salt should work. Raising the temperature (slowly) is another common method but there are a few strains of ich that are becoming heat resistant.

Yes I do, I live in Australia and we don't need vet prescriptions for majority of stuff as far as I'm aware. I'm weary on using medication due to accidentally using one that killed off my biofilter in the early stages of setting up my personal tank so one that doesn't kill off that is critical.

I would go by raising the temperature 3 degrees everyday until you get to 86 degrees. Let it stay there for about 7 days, then start to lower it again 3 degrees every day back down to the temperature you want.

On my last week (of 3) of salt + 86F temp in all my tanks for ich. I did start off with 2 doses of API Super Ick Cure. They all seem to be clear for a while now but just doing the full 3 weeks to kill off any latent ich still in the tanks.
