smidey Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 have you had it before? to get rid of it the once i had it i dosed as directed on day 1, day two i did a 75% water change & repeated the dose as directed. Same again on day 3 & it went away after that & has not returned. that looks like a large clown, what size is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 There is something v v suspicious about that white spot...its almost not like ich Is it on the rest of the body as well? chuck a load of salt in the tank and watch as your loaches come out to play in it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's true - fish can get dehydrated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 couple of fish fulls in a 180L tank should be good. I don't usually do ratios, but with every 50L water change i put in 2 fist fulls with my big hands. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupaGreen Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Is it actually white spot though? I've had white spot before and it didn't look like this? Its only on its head, no where else...looking at them you can't see white spots, looks like its on 2 of the (I don't actually know how many) 5 maybe 6 clowns :roll: See the area around the head that lighter than the rest of the body, the spots are only there... smidey...Dosed with? And that one isn't huge, I have another thats probably 3times bigger, but it looks ugly, the black bars are like light grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_fish Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I had white spot recently on my blue rams and it only appeared on one side of each fish – weird huh?! My guess would be white spot too, so try treating with white spot cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarrenB Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Mine got this at one stage (looked just like yours in photo) by the time I went and got some white spot cure (2 days) the spots were gone. ... also I had a pleco with "white spot" turns out he had just been sitting under the spraybar. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
