Yes it is ICK.. if you dont remove it you will loose your fish!!!! Hurry and act.. dont waste time

All the following steps must be done over a span of 48 hrs... otherwise your fish will die of shock and sudden changes

1> Increase your temp to 85 F.. do it gradually... over a period of 48 hrs...
2> Add 2 teaspoons of salt for every 5 gallons of water... again... spread it across 48 hrs
3> DO a 50% water change every alternate day
4> Get a good ICK medication and use it as written on the packing
5> Keep the treatment going for atleast 2 weeks

Google for ICK and you will know whats troubling your fish... pls pls pls... act fast or your fish will die a painful death
