I'm almost positive my black moor has ich. From what I understand and have been researching, I caught the ich it in it's early stages. There are only a few white dots on either side of the tail. I am hesitant to treat my fish right away in case it is not ich.
My fish has not been itching itself yet, there are just about 5 small white dots (raised bumps) on the right side of the tail, and only about 2 raised bumps on the other side. Please help!
i have my fish in a filtered tank, and it is with only one other fish. I feel it would be best to treat the whole tank (not take the black moor out), as I am assuming my other fish is very suseptable (if not, end up with the parasite shortly) to becomming infected as well. Am I right? or is is absolutely crucial that I take the black moor out?

I also did a 30% water change this morning.
One more thing, I do not have a heater since goldfish do not like warmer temperatures, however, my water temp stays between 76 and 80. I am confused that the ich was able to live in these temperatures that are relatively high.
Is it bad to treat the water anyway just to be safe?
