JackiePlecChan Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 today checked on tank to give a water change and noticed little white spots growing on 1 of my discus and 3 of my clown loaches. Iv'e had my clown loaches for 2 years with no problems, then added 2 baby discus last week given to me by a friend. My questions are through anyone that have experienced whitespot what are the best ways to treat both fish andthe tank, how much should i give water changes to the tank, cheers..

jim r Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 You could try raising the temperature and adding a UV steriliser. Clown Loaches are not very tolerant to meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 its the first time I've heard of whitespot on discus. Normally the tank temp of 28-30 sorts it out. You could add some salt to the tank. I've got clowns in with my discus and the salt doesn't seem to worry them but the cysts from the white spot won't like it.

Stella Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've had my clown loaches for 2 years with no problems, then added 2 baby discus last week given to me by a friend. There is the reason: no quarantine on new fish. Whitespot is killed off at 29-30*C or 7ppt (parts per thousand) salt, that equates to 1tsp per litre.
