So I have a new problem...

I saw several very small white dots on my puffer this evening. I'm guessing it's ich? I've never had this happen to my fish before, and I'm especially not sure how to handle this with a puffer. All my water parameters have been good since I started keeping this fish a week ago. Ammonia-0 nitrites-0 nitrate-5 ph 7.6 and water temp at 74.

I need help! What do I do?

Very, very common with this species, when moved to a new environment.
