Yes - I think that's why you are supposed to treat for 2 weeks after last spot has gone?? Correct me if I'm wrong please, as it's only what I am reading on internet (as fast as I can to gain knowledge)

When I say 'Malachite green' it's the Wunder White Spot treatment (sorry). Yes I realise it needs a certain amount of time for the medication to treat the free swimming parasite (about 48 hours I think) before it reattaches to host. I will give her a while longer to see if Mr G calms down and to make sure all traces of spot are well and truly gone. All nitrites and ammonia are zero - thankfully. Grateful for help. Thanks

I was looking at how to do this via You Tube - some helpful tips on there - but you look like you've done a most excellent job - stunning effect - I will leave such efforts as to when I have a tank to warrant it. Congrats to you for your efforts!

Well hello! I have a couple of new-ish set up tanks - and have learned that I must get a quarantine tank very soon! I thought the white spot had cleared up after treating and losing some BN and tetras - but then I spotted (no pun intended) this one white spot on Mrs G, it was there for about 10 days and today it disappeared (raises glass). :thup: Tank A - Aqua one 620 (90L) 2 pearl gouramis 1 x Male and 1 x female, 5 golden barbs and 2BN - tetras moved into another tank because Mr G bullied them ALL into a corner for most of the day and nipped them. (Having said that - he is truly handsome but freaks me out because he is at the front of the tank all the time watching me like a hawk!). Mrs PG is being hounded constantly by Mr PG who is "The God Father" of my depleted tank. The 5 Barbs follow him like a possi of 'wannabees' and he does NOT chase them at all. Mrs G however, will still come out from behind the plants and eat next to him or at least try to, but he chases her back into hiding. Question: Do I move her into my other tank B (Aqua One 510 70L) containing only a few neon tetras x 8 and x-ray tetras x 4 and 1 x BN? (for her own safety/stress levels) - I also think that could be why she managed to pick up a white spot again after it had all disappeared??? Also considering her cyst has just burst on her fin - when would it be safe to move her? Tank is being treated with malachite green at a half dose now because of BN - it would seem effectively, with temp raised and bubblestone on. Or - do I get another female gourami for tank A and hope Mr PG will give 2 females less stress?? My tank parameters all seem ok - I will worry about rescuing plants or new plants when I am happy that fish are happy first. Advice gratefully received - dammit I have so many questions but will go and find appropriate threads and all your tanks looks soooo wickedly good *hangs head* :oops: Actually after the stress of losing fish I'm surprised I'm not covered in white spot myself! *goes off to dose self in malachite green - just to be sure*
