Hi folks, Had a small fry in a holding tank for a few weeks now, Even put a snail in for some company (seemed like a good idea) He has developed white spot, He's about a 1-2 inches long the fish that is not the snail :lol: Is it worth treating him as we have become quite attached and didn't want to kill the little fella with antibiotics but if i don't the white spot will any ideas !!!!

White spot or ick is a parasite. If the little fish has ick, he/she needs parasitic medications and not antibiotics. The medication is usually copper sulfate. That is sometimes deadly to snails. You should treat the fish for ick. I suggest aquarium salt (a tablespoon per 3 gallons or so) and something like Aquari-sol. You should remove the snail and keep him away from fish for a few weeks at least. By then, he should not be contagious because ick uses fish but not snails as a host and would be gone by then.
