White Spot


Recommended Posts

Dear Bros,

My tank is sick. Actually few days ago i bought a fox fish, but i didn't notices that this fish is sick. So after i reach back to my office i just introduce it into my tank. So the 3 day i found out that most off my fishes had this white spot on their body. Anyone can advise me what to do our what treatment to buy and add in, cause i am also having some soft and hard coral. Thank .

Hi bro,

You may need to catch out the sick fish and put them in a quarantine/hospital tank (QT).

You can use the water from your display tank in this QT.

Then get those ich medicine and follow the instructions on the label to dose.

One medicine you can use is cupramine by seachem.

Additionally, you can search this site on ich related topics.

Cheers!

(-_-) Happy will do ... (o_o)

Try It's Clear.

Binds to protozoa and gram negative bacteria, stimulates the immune system of your fishes. Binds to dissolve organics, nitrates, phosphates thereby improving your water quality which will reduce stress on your fishes. White spot outbreaks become less severe and over time the fishes overcome it. 100% biodegradable and reef safe.

Always something more important than fish.

Paraguard from seachem is easier than copper in term of treatment.. No testing require.. Read the past posts & you understand what I meant. There a danger of overdose and it's not a broad spectrum treatment as compare to paraguard

Ich remains in the tank for 4 weeks like that, as it remains in the sands, rocks and also in the body of the fishes.

Sometimes it is impossible to leave the tank fishless, I sugguest continue to dose ParaGuard even the ich seem to go away for 4 weeks, You can reduce the amount of dose.

Bro I hope you dun meant dosing inside DT. Paraguard is not reef-safe treatment
