one of my oscars has a few small white dots on the back half of his body. Any ideas?

I know its not about P's but I will move it to the disease forum anyway.

tiny pimple looking dots? If so sounds like Ich

 

[Staubsaugen]

what do i do about that and what causes it?

 

[Sir Nathan XXI]

Ick is spread through water and feeders, raise tank temp to around 82-84 and add aquarium salt at 1 tsp/ 7 gal this usually takes care of it in a few days, do frequent water changes as well

or you could just get some white spot (ich) medicine and treat your tank - these medicines are very good.
