Anyone know why a bullhead would have white spots on it? Mostly toward the head? Seen a few like this over the summer.

They are very small like if you put a dot on a piece of paper with a pen. Kind of like a period... What is cc?

I believe what you are see is called "Ich" short for Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, a parasite that causes white bumps on fish. When did you first notice this on your fish.

Like I said it sounds like Ich. If there is anything else you have notice or can tell us anything else like if it is only the bullheads your seeing it on. Any info at all would help us. I have heard of this before but it could be something else. There will be a pro here soon that will know more then me.
