If your fish DO look dusty, then this may indicate the presence of a pathogen.
Whitespot tends to look as though the fish has been sprinkled with white specks, but is easily cured with use of an "off the shelf" remedy.

Not sure if this is a legitimate question or not, however if your fish appear 'dusty' it may be Velvet, a parasite similar to Ich. Look here for more info in regards:

There are several products on the market to kill it.
Hope that helps

No fish don't get dusty. This sounds like velvet.

If their is something on your fish that looks like dust it may be ick. Their is treatment at fish stores for this and it will eventually kill your fish if not treated.

NO! Of course they don't.
If they look dusty then they have a disease. E mail the symptoms to me and I will help you out.

your fish should be in water.. and if it isnt then it probably dead..

Yes! Use a swiffer duster to most effectively remove any dust particulates which accumulate under the gills...especially the dorsal.

No although the water in their tank gathers dust on the top they are swimming around and stay just fine.
