Just did a FW dip and now notice white spots all over her. Only dipped for 1 min maybe should have done longer as it was kicking what ever was on her off? Still need help guys......
Might be flukes.. usually want to dip them longer like 5 minutes and they can fall off but if it’s real bad it can kill the fish in the process. Here’s some info https://humble.fish/flukes/

Flukes won't cause lesions like that. The results from your dip seem like they are just mucus. I see some moderately rapid breathing in the video, and that is a concern. As I said, no real treatment comes to mind for me here. Very often, visual clues are simply not enough to formulate a treatment plan with. I don't see any reason not to try General Cure, but I still think that this could be some chronic issue, and not protozoans or flukes.
