fattythecatty Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 in my tank. I've never had it before and it's devastating. So far I've lost 2 Hoplos, 1 Angel and 3 Clown loach. I've done a water change, increased thew temp and treated the water with 1/2 dose of Wunder White spot cure. My tetras, barbs, Bala Sharks and Danios are all fine. Is there anything else I can do?

David R Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 What did you increase the temperature to? A half-dose isn't going to do much, I dosed mine daily with the 'Blue Circle Whitespot Cure', along with doing a 30% water change daily before dosing. Try the 'Tonic' whitespot cure, its supposed to be a bit stronger, I did a full dose every 3 days, along with a 30-40% water change before dosing. You could also add salt, and a UV steriliser can help kill the tomites when they're in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattythecatty Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Increased the temp to 30, only did a half dose as I have clown loaches and was told a full dose would kill them but I've lost 4 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I only lost 1 out of 9 CL's with my heavy dosing reigeme, thats what HFF recommended I did. Some medicines are harsher than others, which is why I used the tonic sparingly. My silicone is still blue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattythecatty Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm just devastated. I'd never seen it before which may be why I was a bit slow to react and now I've just got so much death. Some of my fish don't seem to be affected at all but for those that are, well, it's just terrible. will increase the meds dose and see what happens.

David R Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yeah it sucks eh, just seems to come out of nowhere some times. I lost a 14cm clown loach last time, and three 10-12cm ones the time before than, after which I decided spending a couple of hundred on a good UV sterilizer was a worth-while investment.
