Is this ick or am I freaking out?

Hi everyone

I'm freaking out.

I'm trying to figure out if my fish have ick :(

I've been cycling a bigger tank and have them in a 10 gal. I do constant water changes and check the ammonia levels. Everything is good on that end.

I noticed my glofish tetras have some tiny white things on their fins. One of my platys has one as well. One of my neon tetras has some. Im not sure if its ick or if its those particles floating around in the tank. (Wishful thinking)

I was hoping I could upload a video but I dont see an option to do so:(

This is my first experience with anything this concerning. I dont want to start treating if itw not the real deal.

Can anyone please help me ?

If it's ick, the most helpful thing I've found to help get rid of it, is to increase the water temp over a time. Especially with medicine sensitive fish and or plants.

Thank you coolhnd9.

I'm treating the tank already. I started after my post. I didnt want to take any risks.

I gotta treat my cycling 40 gal as well since I'm sure I cross contaminated:(

My fish seem fine. They're swinging around ,eating, they seem ok.

I hope I dont lose anyone.

Currently treating with super ich cure.

Waiting on ich x to arrive so I can switch meds.

From your experience, how long do you treat for ick after the last sign of it?

I've been watching videos and some recommend weeks of treatment.
