just to show how bad white spot can get it took 3 weeks to get rid of.

Now imagine the fry having spots that size on them xt3r3s4x. The parasites are the same size on a fry or on a 6 inch fish. On a fry it will kill them rather quickly. If you do not treat the tank, the parasites will infest anything in the tank including new born fry.
