sandysme Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I did put the temp up to 30, turned up the air and have treated twice and done a half change once, and retreated again, I will keep it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I don't have tropical fish so I don't know anyhting about using heat, but I wonder if it speeds up the lifecycle so much that they don't have time to find a host before they die? At normal tropical temps they need to find a host within two days. I would be kinda surprised if the heat itself killed them (it tends to be other results of heat that kills tings: dehydration, lack of oxygen etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim r Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Platy's prefer temp of 25c so maybe 30c is a bit high for them to tolerate and this method takes 3 weeks to be successful. Anything with acryflavin,Quinine sulfate or malachite green will act as a cure.Also when you see the white spots this is the terminal stage which precedes death. White spot is usually caused by poor conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
