does anyone here keep any tropical fish??

 

i have 2 clown loaches,

 

orange spot pleck,

 

swordtails,

 

red tail shark

 

angels,

 

i have just noticed the dreaded white spot on the loaches and a cotton wool like growth on the shark,

 

what is the best way to rid of white spot quickly, i have been treating the water for 3 days now and the loaches dont seem any better,

 

i have removed the carbon from the filter, whilst i am treating them and raised the water above 29degrees,

Alan. :confused:

Not sure about the address on the last one, seems to be OK tho.

 

Used this formula before, and it was really good.

 

Alan......

I had that years ago, i isolated each fish in a jam jar after aclimatizing the water in them by floating them an the aquarium, i then put 4 drops of methalyne blue in each jam jar, out of 12 fish only one didnt recover, but it couldnt re infect the others while they were suseptable, being run down themselves

cheers fellas

u r a great help im using waterlife protozin at the moment but doesnt seem to be doing much.

try the mythaline blue, but you do need to isolate all the fish

try the mythaline blue, but you do need to isolate all the fish

 

 

where can i get this methaline blue from and how long did you isolate all the fish for??

get itr from any aquarium shop, i isolated the fish for about 5 days, however i only let them back in the tank when there was no more signs of infection, ive used this method on fin rot as well, in fact i used it on a goldfish my son won at the fair, these as you probably know are riddled with infection, the idea being that you win 1 at the beginning of the week, it dies so you go back for another to pasify your son/ daughter whos upset, last 1 i did it with was about 1 inch long and already showing signs of rot, in the end we had it 8 years and it was 10 inches long!
