    does it stick out of the eye a little bit? I just had that on my fish 2 days ago. My fish are in QT for ich, on day 25 and doing good. Then this popped up on its eye. All my fish died today. not sure what it was but my fish went down hill fast
    good luck

    ballgame, I am so sorry! I don't have an idea on the dots....I'd leave it be as long as the fish appears healthy otherwise.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    If you see stuff on the eye and it's not a mechanical injury google or look up external parasites/or flukes (which is parasite).
