Re: white spot?

The symptoms you describe indicate a bacterial infection, rather than whitespot which results in a scattering of grain-sized spots (actually cysts) that spread from the fins to the body. However, it's difficult to give an accurate diagnosis without a photo of one of the affected fish.

What are you water parameters (pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) and how big is your pond? Does it have a cycled filter?
