Hi

just learn from an expert. Reduce salt level to 18, as white spot parasite will died but fishes will still be ok. pls any expert correct me if I am wrong. Aother way, bring out the affect fish and soak in fresh aged water for 5 min.

the fish won't die?? when you bring and soak it in freshwater???

hi,

a fish exporter told me that...soak for 5 min , the white spot parsite will die but the fish still can take that short time.

have used freshwater bath several times - it will usually work if the fish is still reasonably healthy, but if the fish is to far gone (e.g. eye already cloudy) then it is usually too late.

try to raise the pH of the fresh to water same as your tank (can add bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) ). Also make sure the water temp is similar to your tank. Dip for 5 mins but no longer than 10.

hi,

I have just "murdered" my tang yesterday. She has white spots. So, I tool her out and gave her freshwater bath for less than 1 mins and let her back to the tank.

She was ok but this morning goes to heaven :<

Have tried the following methods:

a) Food soaked with garlic

Partial change of water

c) Freshwater bath

Nothing work. White spots keep coming. Don't intend to try commercial medication as I have live rocks and several shrimps.

Now, I have left with 1 clown and 1 angel.

Any experts who can advise moi ?

Much appreciated. Kam siah chwee chwee.

The best advice i can give u now is to catch out yur fishes into another tank and treat them with medication.

The trouble of catching them is worth it, if u compare it to watching yur fishes slowly suffer and die...

Try to catch them early in the morning. They are more sluggish.

i suffered the same problem but luckily managed it..nothing died and i did not change water that much.. i bought the medicine which was very effective only for $13+ .....also did fresh water dips with squeezed chopped up garlic juice......
