White Spots on Puffer

[Precious]

Hi, my puffer started having white spots and it seems like it's spreading to other fishes. I have been using Myxazin for the 4th day but the white spots still comes on and off. Any other suggestions that can help?

A few fishes died. Can I check something with you guys? I used to have a mandarin fish inside and it went missing for days. I removed rocks and corals but was not able to find it. It could have been hiding some where and died. Will the decomposed affect the water and causes the white spots on other fishes? Till now I am not able to find the mandarin fish

Agree with bro leong but if you want to be safe, do more frequent small water change and monitor ammonia, nitrite levels, make sure it's zero to reduce stress to fish. I think the demomposing corpse of the mandarin might be polluting the water with ammonia. A highly stressed fish cannot survive disease, even with medication.

I do a 20 to 30% change of water every week. But this few days I didn't because they are in medication and the shop assistant advised me not to do so.

Wah.... That's a tricky situation. I think the store guy is correct in his advice, but if you have an ammonia problem, it might kill your fish faster than the disease. Better check your parameters asap. If they're ok, maybe you can just leave it as it is.

If they are eating you can feed them anti-parasitic caviar available at Iwarna. Active ingredient is chloroquine which will act against whitespot when consumed by the fish.

Gave the caviar but they don't eat. They all died

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately it looks like you might have to go fishless for 2 months at least, make sure all the parasites die off before you put in any new fish. Your water is probably polluted too, will have to change water to get rid of ammonia and other poisons as well as the medication, which might affect invertebrates. Best to check the water parameters too. Take care.
