Whitespot needs treating fast as its a killer once it infests the gills.
Don't raise temp to 30 till you have added the med. Increase aeration with the high temp and med as it reduces 02 in the water. Remove black carbon from the filter if you use it. Read meds instructions carefully to see if you can use full dose with the fish you have. |
