Last night I noticed my new bblue/yellow dragon I got a week ago was flashing around on the sides of the tank and on his wood. No white spots then but this morning he has about 6 or 7 on one side of his body and a few on his pectorals.
I'm going to try treating with heat + salt but since this is my first time dealing with ICH im wondering what to expect and how long to keep him in the salt + heat?? Will he get covered in tons spots or will they just stop showing up since I've added salt and heat?
I added a bit more than a tablespoon of salt to his 5g and im raising the heat to 32C. He doens't have alot of spots so im hoping i've caught it early enough that he can be saved :(

i dont think its whitespot anymore
The small white things are covering individual scales and look fuzzy from what I can see... some have fallen off and left black marks where his scales use to be. small holes appeeared in his fins but no white stuff on them... Otherwise he is acting/eating fine. he's spending most of his time working on his massive nest and zooming around the tank
Someone please help :( I can't loose this beautiful fish so soon.
