I thought one of my fish had fungus but after looking closer it might be ich. The white specs are closer together than what I have seen before. I treated my tank 4-5 hours ago with a double dose of fungus med. per the bottles instruction. When and how could I treat the tank for ich if that is the problem.( I will watch for a while to make sure which it is before I add anything else).

pristine water and warmer temp (80 deg F) can kill the ich/ick.
if you had check your water prior to fungi medication, and sure
that it is in good condition, ich/ick will be gone soon. in case
you raise the temp, make sure you have sufficient agitation to help
oxygenate the tank. an air bubbler can become handy.

Thanks for the link it was very helpful. One thing, how long do I need to wait to treat for ich when I treated for fungus 5 hours ago?

the fungi medicine will be fine. just raise the temp, add some pure salt,
and make sure you increase water agitation, everything will be fine. no
need to rush another medication....
