hi Polgara

have you tested your water yet to see if any ammonia/nitrite present? From what I can gather slowly raising the temp of the tank to 28 - 30 degrees will help to speed the white spot cycle......do it slowly though. Combine this with increased aeration, daily w/changes and good gravel cleaning helps get rid of the cysts once they have left the fish. BTW did you take the carbon out of your filter ........if you have any in there?

:D hope you had a good xmas (cept for the fishies :-? )

Beg your pardon Robbo??

That is what is recommended for whitespot,

with a rise in the heating, which increases the cycle of the ich,

so as they come into the water column and are killed by the M/B

and also aeration, because the oxygen content of the water drops with the water increase ot the water temperature.

BUT

For clown loaches, you are in trouble with the meth. blue.

As you are with other scaleless fish,

ie, the rainbow, and redtail sharks.
