Caryl Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I have found an old and very interesting article that mentions curing whitespot using daphnia! It says to lower the temperature to about 22C so the whitespot are slowed down and the daphnia, which feed on the parasites, are still active. A dense cloud of daphnia soon disposes of the disease and the fish get so sick of eating daphnia that they leave it alone and eat the flake food. Anyone interested in trying this?? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Wow, fascinating! Makes sense on some levels. Where to find enough daphnia to get the fish sick of eating them...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 sounds good - its nature working at its best without all the artificial and harmful additives that chemicals have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
