perky Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hi, My firefish has a few whitespots here and there. What should I do? Should I leave hime until tomorrow and if its worse, treat him? or will he cure himself??? Help would be great. Perky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Perky - Patience is your only friend right now. Do a search on this forum and see what others have discussed. I would advise doing nothing, reducing stress is the key in my experance, the whitespot will go if the tank paramaters are healthy. Others will reccomend removing it and adding copper, which will work. It means a 2nd tank and catching the fish (more stress). A few may reccomend garlic, this 'may' help. Whatever your do EVERYONE will agree, reduce stress (no hands in tank, stable water paramaters). Also if your going to act (medicne, copper, garlic, hyper salinity etc) you need to do it now. If treatment is all you can do for you pet, the longer you wait, the less likley you are of a positive result. Pies PS: Doubble check and make sure it is whitespot, not an air bubble or similar.

perky Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 well, he managed to jump out of the tank when i was doing a water change, so i had to put him back. i think that was why he got itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
