Hi, um my fishes...well. At first I thought it looked like white spot, but there are LOADS of tiny white/blue spots, on all of them (i've got boys and girls.) And its depressing Simon. What can I do? I've moved them out of their bio orb just for the mo. Oh and thx for ur answers to my last question. My fishes say 'THANKS' (Simon, Lois, and George.) X

You can by a medication at the pet store that will treat both fungus and ich at the same time. Treat them in something other then their regular tank as the meds will also kill the beneficial bacteria and the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate spikes will kill them when you put them back in. Add aquarium salt for freshwater fish to your tank from now on to stop further problems and make sure you have them at the correct temperature and are not over feeding them - both will lead to health problems

Abrupt changes of temperature can cause a shock to your fish which invite a host of bacteria floating around. Sounds like velvet which can be treated if you hurry to the fish store and explain the problem, usually treat the whole tank and change treated and cured water at the same temp, careful and Good Luck

Bluish I've not heard of. White/grey fuffy is generally fungus, or columnaris (aka mouth fungus despite it being a bacterial,and that it can spread places other than the mouth). I'd recommend jungle labs fungus eliminator, or pimafix (add melafix if you have money to burn). As both are effective against external fungus and bacteria infections.

Could be fungus or ick. Try to do a search and see if any pictures match what you're seeing. If they do then find the appropriate medication at the petstore.

Sounds like a fungus...talk to a pet store with lots of fishes.
Mybe tetracycline will help, but i am not that familiar with fish problems.

sounds like a fungus (cures at the petstore are avalible), and ick (also cures are avalible). Ick is lots of salt sized spots on your fish. Good luck
