Caper Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 When I first got my tank, my goldfish had ich (result from putting in mollies as was recommended by store, only to have them hassle goldfish). I was able to recognize it right away, looked like fin salted. Now, he has one white spot on his tail fin & one spot on his anal fin. It has been like this for 3 days now. No other spots. If this as ich, wouldn't he have more on him? I don't want to treat if I there is no need. One time before he had a similar white spot on his tail fin and it just went away. What do you think?????

Bluetom Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 If you've had similar before and it just went away maybe leave it abit and see how it goes, he maye recover fine. As i see it there is no point add chemicals of treatments to your tank unnesscary, i don't think you'd see king Neptune doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Never saw King Neptune doing water changes either :lol: :lol: :lol: But I agree with Bluetom - wait a bit and see what happens Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetom Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 you only do water changes so that you can represent the change in water from the flow in oceans rivers and lakes but i'll take that :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Thank you Sorry so late with the thanks. Anyway, had to go away in a rush...when I came back...no spots on goldfish! I was concerned because I recognized it the first time it happened...but this was different as only the 2 spots and didn't seem to be getting any worse. When he had it the first time, I treated right away. Therefore, I wasn't sure how long it would take to spread if it was ich! Oh shoot...hope that makes sense :-?

dee_jay_01 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hey another way to treat ICH is to raise your water temp between 29 deg and 32 deg it sounds harsh, but It actually works ash Ich and White Spot can not live in those water temps.
